The truck with registration number AC-850-17 according to eye witness ran into three different cars which were parked at the Police Headquarters.

In an interview with this reporter, an eyewitness, Kwadwo Asirifii narrated that the driver lost control of the vehicle due to a brake failure, leading to the unfortunate incident.

"The truck was heading towards Offinso from Accra when it veered off the road in a reversed manner. The woman who had just stepped out of a commercial bus was crashed by the car immediately after the commercial bus left the scene.

"The truck subsequently crashed into a gutter and later into the police headquarters’ fence wall before it eventually crashed into three cars parked on the station’s compound," he stated.
