Confirming the incident, the Agona District Police Commander, Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Francis Akwasi Asante said the KIA Rio taxi with registration number AW 2389-12, with four passengers on board, was from Kyekyewere heading towards Kumasi.

He said the victim, Adoma, was rushed to the Asamang SDA Hospital but was referred to the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH).
