A mother and her son have met their untimely deaths after an articulator-truck ran into their building and crushed them at Duampompo, a town in the Ejisu-Juaben Municipality.
The woman Ramatu Sali and her teenage son, Lateef Sali died instantly and residents had to dig through the rubble to recover their bodies.
According to Kumasi-based Nhyira FM, Sumaila Sali, another son of Ramatu stated that the incident occurred about 4:20 a.m. on Monday when the family was asleep.
Bereaved father and husband, Mr. Sali, only escaped because he had gone to the mosque to pray at the time of the accident.
