Story: George Ernest Asare, Kumasi
Two members of a family at Barekese in the Ashanti Region who were transporting their sick sister to the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) for medical care were killed along with their sick sister when their car was involved in an accident on Wednesday.
The deceased were identified as Kwasi Mfum, 38; Kwadwo Adubofour, 43, and Yaa Pokuah.
The driver of the car, Kofi Bour, who sustained multiple injuries, is said to be in a coma and is on admission at KATH.
Briefing the Daily Graphic on the incident, the Ashanti Regional Commander of the Motor Traffic and Transport Unit (MTTU), Superintendent James Sarfo Peprah, said the deceased, using an unregistered Golf saloon car, had gone to Offinso to pick Yaa Pokuah to send her to hospital.
He said on their way to the hospital, the car was involved in an accident at Abrekuma, near Barekese, killing the three.
According to Supt Peprah, the driver, who was trapped in the car, had multiple fractures in both legs and bled profusely from the injuries sustained.
He said the accident occurred in the night of Wednesday, April 23, 2008, but it was at dawn the following day that a farmer discovered the bodies of the deceased on the roadside and raised an alarm, which drew sympathisers to the accident scene to retrieve the injured driver from the wreck.
