A 55-year-old taxi driver, Peter Asare, and a passenger narrowly escaped death when the vehicle they were traveling in rammed into a container store at Akyempim.
The driver and passenger however did not sustain any injury after the accident.
An investigator of the Tarkwa Motor Transport and Traffic Department (MTTD), Chief Inspector George Kwabena Osei, confirmed the incident to the Ghana News Agency at Akyempim.
