Tsawoenu-Awudome(Volta Region), 29th June 99 ?
One person has been identified in Thursday's accident at Tsawoenu near Ho in which six persons were trapped to death.
He is Mr Philip Akpozah, 32, also known as "Iron Boy." The remaining five, four men and a woman between the ages of 20 and 50 years, are yet to be identified.
The Ho police have therefore appealed to the general public to help identify them at the Ho Regional Hospital mortuary.
Assistant Superintendent Frederick Adu Anim, Volta Regional Officer of the Motor Traffic and Transport Unit said Mr Akpozah is the driver of the Toyota taxi cab engaged by African Lotto Enterprise (ALE).
He said the driver was returning from Somanya to Ho on one of his trips, when it skidded off the road during torrential rains and plunged into the flooded waters.
Mr Anim said 13 ALE lotto booklets and 270,200 cedis were retrieved from the car. Meanwhile, police are investigating the cause of the accident.
