One person died on the spot while many others were injured when a commercial vehicle ran into traders at the Suame roundabout in Kumasi on Thursday dawn.
The injured were rushed to the Tafo government hospital while the body of the deceased, a female yet to be identified, has been deposited at the morgue.
The driver of the vehicle is in police custody.
An eye witness told the Ghana News Agency that the driver of the vehicle who was coming from Pankrono towards Kejetia lost control when making a turn at the roundabout and crashed into the traders who were selling by the roadside.
He said the deceased who would be around 40 years, was trapped under the vehicle for more than 20 minutes before she was removed.
A police source at the Suame Police station confirmed the accident and said they were investigating the matter.
