A 65-YEAR-OLD retired staff of the Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT) died on the spot when a Mitsubishi 4x4 vehicle crashed into an Opel Astra caravan in which he was travelling.
The accident occurred around 4:30 pm on Friday, August 8, 2009 at Yakwei, near Konongo in the Ashanti Region.
The deceased who was identified as Mr Osei Asibey suffered multiple head and body injuries from the impact of the accident.
He was at the passenger seat of the Opel Astral ‘caravan’ with registration number GT 1585 Y.
The drivers of both vehicles and three other passengers in their respective vehicles who suffered various degrees of injury were rushed to the Agogo Presbyterian Hospital in a taxi.
An eyewitness told the Daily Graphic that the Mitsubishi 4x4, with registration number GE 4600Z, was overtaking a taxi on the Konongo-Yakwei stretch of the Accra-Kumasi road when it crashed into the oncoming Opel caravan, head-on.
Moments after the crash, the Mitsubishi veered off the left lane it had entered and landed a few metres away from the main road.
The deceased was said to have visited his wife at Juaso, a few kilometres away, and was returning to his base at Konongo when he met his untimely death.
