Residents of Enyan Asempanyin in the Ajumako Enyan Essiam District, Central Region, mourned on Friday as two Okada riders died in a crash during their colleague's funeral procession.
The riders were reportedly performing stunts and racing through the township after retrieving their colleague's body from the mortuary.

Their deceased colleague, Daniel Nyarkoh, also died in a motor accident.
