Ebony, with a friend, Franky Kuri, and a military officer, Atsu Vondee, in a jeep, lost their lives on Thursday night, after their car collided with an oncoming VIP bus, when their driver tried to avoid a heap of sand in their lane.

According to a report by the Ghana Police report, the accident occurred near Abesewa in the Brong Ahafo Region whilst she was returning Sunyani to Accra.
