Another victim has been confirmed dead in the Asutifi Ata-Ne-Ata ghastly accident which happened on Saturday, December 10.
The deceased was receiving treatment with eight other victims at the St Elizabeth Hospital at Hwidiem.
This brings the death toll to 11; 10 of the victims died instantly, with those in critical conditions being seven.

The victims, all teenagers, who were trapped under the truck, were rescued after hours of efforts.
The bodies have been deposited at the hospital’s mortuary.
Some parents have visited the hospital to identify their relatives as police begin investigations.
The driver has handed himself over to the police and assisting with investigations.
