Police in Suhum are investigating the death of a 45-year-old driver who ran into a stationary cargo truck with his Sprinter bus at Apeatu, a community in the Suhum Municipality on the main Accra-Kumasi Highway.
According to eyewitnesses, the deceased, Emmanuel Debrah, was driving a Sprinter bus with registration number GC 2287-15 from Accra loaded with tomatoes when he ran into the stationary cargo truck with registration number AW 4725-16, resulting in his death.
