A 51-year-old trader, Akua Serwah, has been crushed to death by a truck at Dr Mensah, a suburb in the Kumasi metropolis of the Ashanti region.

Although some other traders were around, they were able to run for their lives.

The mutilated body of the deceased has been conveyed by the police and deposited at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital’s morgue.
