ASP Amponsem indicated that the driver and one other person in the truck sustained some injuries.

“The driver of the truck failed breaks and lost control to the other side of the street and as a result crushed the little girl who was standing in front of a building by the roadside ready to cross the road.

“The conductor of the bus jumped out of the car trying to stop the car manually but failed. He sustained some degree of minor injuries and was discharged some hours later after being sent to the hospital” he said.
