He said: “I always stand at the front door beside the driver but when we set off on Thursday, the driver’s son told me he wanted to stand by his father today so I should go to the backdoor which I did and fell asleep in the course of the journey,” he disclosed on Accra-based Okay FM, monitored by Adomonline.com.
He revealed that Fabulous and his son were trapped under the vehicle after the accident leading to their death.
He said he has been at the mortuary to view their bodies at the Suhum Government Hospital.
