A TWENTY-FIVE-YEAR-OLD graduate of the School of Medical Sciences at the University of Ghana�s desire to let his parents be the first to witness his sterling grades which opened the door to his dream as a young doctor was crushed to death by a reckless driver.
Nyamekye Gyamfi Attah-Kofi, the deceased, was heading from Accra to Kumawu to present his grades to his parents when his vehicle collided with a speeding car at Akyem Sekyere in the Atiwa district of the Eastern region.
He was undertaking his national service at McCarthy Hills hospital in Accra when he met his untimely death.
Speaking to the DAILY HERITAGE in an interview, a grief-stricken sister, Ellen Kwakye, could barely utter a word but tersely said �he told us he is now a doctor. He was coming to show us his grades. Now, what would become of the grades now that he is dead?�
She appealed to the police to bring the defaulting driver that ended the life of his brother to book to serve as a deterrent to others.
�When would needless deaths be reduced on our roads? The country is losing graduates and my brother happens to be one. He was not able to contribute his quota to Ghana,� she lamented.
An eyewitness account which was corroborated by the Anyinam police stated that the deceased was on top speed and lost control of the steering wheel thus running into an oncoming vehicle.
The body of the deceased has been deposited at the Agyakwa Hospital at Nkawkaw for autopsy.
