The families of the deceased persons are yet to be identified.
The Ghana Police Service has confirmed the death of the young man who sustained serious injuries after falling from the third tier level of the Pokuase interchange on Saturday.
According to media reports, one of the two men who fell onto the pavement on the Awoshie section of the Pokuase interchange died instantly. The other had been rushed to the Ga North Municipal Hospital after he sustained serious injuries.
The men are believed to have been riding an unregistered motorbike prior to the fall.
The Public Relations Officer of the Greater Accra Regional Police Command who confirmed the second death to Accra-based Citi News revealed that the driver of the motorbike lost control upon reaching a spot on the interchange which led to the two falling.
“Our preliminary investigations indicate that these two persons, a pillion rider and a rider were on an unregistered motorbike from Awoshie heading towards the Accra direction in the outer lane, and upon reaching a spot on the interchange, the rider lost control and both of them fell from the interchange with one dying on the spot.”
“The other who survived was rushed to the hospital with injuries but also passed on Sunday, October 10, 2021.”
The families of the deceased persons are yet to be identified. The Police has thus urged persons who haven’t seen their relatives within the period to visit the Pokuase District Headquarters of the Ghana Police Service for inquiries.
