A man believed to be in his early 30s has died after he was run over by a tipper truck near the Tano river on the Techiman Sunyani road.
Eyewitnesses say the tipper truck with registration number BA 2373 C which was on a high speed knocked the man down while trying to overtake the motor rider.
One of them explained that “What I saw is the motor rider in the lead with the tipper truck trying to overtake the rider. He then hit the man in the process dragging him to a distance”.
He added that though the rider was wearing a helmet, “he died on the spot as his head was chopped off and the helmet completely destroyed.”
The police have since arrived at the scene to deposit the corpse at the holy family hospital’s morgue.
