Three people have been killed while a fourth person is battling for her life after a payloader ran into a group of people at Aputuogya Nkwanta in the Bosomtwe District of the Ashanti Region.

The ghastly crash occurred at about 7 am on Monday after the driver of the equipment swerved a vehicle to prevent a head-on collision with an oncoming car.

The payloader hit a 30-year-old woman who was taking her 2-year-old girl to school. They got entangled beneath the heavy-duty vehicle and were dragged along the road before the vehicle rammed into a small kiosk.

A woman selling gari and other items in the kiosk got crashed in the process. All three died on the spot.A fourth person who was close to the kiosk sustained serious injuries.

“One of them had her head crashed. The other woman had a large portion of her skin peeled off around the thighs. One victim was smashed badly with all her ribs exposed. The limbs of the woman and her daughter were in pieces with blood all over at the scene,” Ernest Kojo Abrefa, an eyewitness, disclosed.
