He has been confirmed dead at the Tema General Hospital shortly after admission, according to Citi News sources.
Mr. Koomson was trapped in the debris. It took bystanders’ intervention to pull him out.
He was left lying on the ground helplessly, with many onlookers at the scene, before he was taken to the Tema General Hospital.
Son of the deceased, John Koomson had earlier spoken about his father’s harrowing ordeal.
This morning, I received a call that my father has been involved in an accident this morning. He is deaf and dumb, and can barely do anything. So I rushed to the hospital only to see that both legs have been smashed
he said
Following the demise of the father, he has been lamenting the poor conditions under which the late father worked.
He has been going to work every day for about three to four months now, but has never been paid. I don’t know what is going on in this country that is making the hearing-impaired to be working under this condition
he said
