On reaching a section of the road between Nyamebekyere and Nsuta, there was a heap of sand in the lane of the Jeep which was being used for the road maintenance, and the driver in trying to avoid running into the sand, swerved onto the opposite lane and grazed the nearside portion of the bus and plunged into the railings at the edge of the road, killing the three other occupants identified as Francisca Nkansah Kuri aged 27 years, Priscilla Opoku Kwarteng [Ebony], and Lance Corporal Vondee Francis Atsu, aged 29 years.

He told Accra-based Joy Fm that: "She left home on Thursday saying she was going to see her mum. The Mum just returned from the United Kingdom and she said she was going to see her. I asked if she was driving herself because it was late. She told me she was going with her driver, her bodyguard who was a soldier and a friend. It was around 10 PM.”

Ebony’s father, said that he believes his daughter has accomplished his earthly mission and left at the appointed time.

“I believe that you can’t change anything in the world. Nature does it in its own way as it demands. I’ve heard some of the prophecies but I believe it was time for Ohemaa to die. She was not immortal. We will all die one day. She was assigned purposely for something and she accomplished it.”
