A tragic accident has claimed the life of a young tipper truck driver in his early 20s on the Oyoko-Aduaben road in the Bosomtwe district of the Ashanti region.
The incident occurred on Monday, May 26, 2025, at dawn, when the deceased, known as Shiano, hit his motorcycle into a road compactor.
According to a report by Otec News reporter Obibini Takyi, Shiano was riding his motorcycle from Aduaben, where he had dropped off his girlfriend, to Aputuogya.
“In an attempt to dodge an oncoming vehicle, he lost control and collided with the faulty road roller parked on the roadside,” he told Kwaku Owusu Boateng, the host of “Nyansapo,” Otec FM’s morning show.
The road roller, belonging to Attachy Construction Limited, has been parked on the roadside for almost three months despite road users’ appeals to have it removed.
Obibini Takyi, the Otec News reporter who covered the story, noted that the construction firm has ignored these appeals, putting road users at risk.
