A nine-year-old boy has been knocked down and killed by a commercial Toyota Voxy vehicle at Buduatta Junction on the Kasoa-Winneba Highway in the Central Region.
The deceased, identified as Miklin Bologah, was reportedly crossing the highway when the vehicle struck him.
Miklin, a resident of Buduatta Junction, was a pupil of Awutu Bereku Zion School.
An eyewitness, Bernard Antwi, told Adom News that the incident occurred as the boy attempted to cross to the opposite side of the road after leaving school.
He recounted that the vehicle hit Miklin, leaving him with critical injuries.
The boy was rushed to the Gomoa Potsin Polyclinic for medical attention but was pronounced dead on arrival.
Police say the driver allegedly attempted to flee the scene after the accident but was pursued by some commercial motorbike riders, who apprehended him at the Gomoa Dominase Onion Market.
The driver has since been arrested and is assisting the police with investigations.
Police investigations are ongoing to establish the full circumstances surrounding the incident.
