Four people, including a pregnant woman and her daughter, have lost their lives in a tragic road accident involving a Sinotruk HOWO tipper truck at Kinkinlin near Makango in the East Gonja Municipality of the Savannah Region.
According to reports, the victims were part of a group of women and young girls walking to their farms around 5:00 a.m. on Thursday to pick shea nuts when the accident occurred.
Eyewitnesses say the tipper truck, bearing registration number GB-2359-20, allegedly lost control, veered off its lane, and knocked down the victims from behind before overturning.
Four persons died instantly, while one survivor sustained critical injuries and was rushed to the Salaga Government Hospital before later being referred to the Tamale Teaching Hospital for further treatment.
Authorities are expected to investigate the circumstances surrounding the crash.
