Hundreds of sympathizers on Tuesday thronged the family house of Awurakua Smith, one of the deceased children in last Thursday’s tragic motor accident in Takoradi, to mourn with the family at a burial ceremony.
The victim’s school teachers and pupils from the Egyirba International, who were dressed in black and red attires, joined other mourners to sorrowfully sing dirges at the burial ground.
Reverend Tony Panyin of the Holy Fire Revival Ministry International, who officiated at the burial service, urged the parents of the deceased to take heart since God knew the reason why such tragic incident happened.
He urged everybody present at burial to lead righteous lives at all times because no one knew when they would die.
The deceased father, Mr Johnson Smith, is the current head coach of Berekum Arsenals, one of the premier division league clubs based in the Brong Ahafo Region.
It would be recalled that, on January 13 at about 1500 hours an articulated truck with registration number AS 1140N ignored signal from a traffic warden at a zebra crossing at Kwesimintsim, a suburb of Takoradi and ran over school children killing two kids and a woman in the process.
Information gathered by the Ghana News Agency (GNA) indicated that, the second child, who lost his life by name Pious Donkoh, would be buried today Wednesday January 19, 2011.
