A 26-year-old man on Tuesday died from his injuries when he fell from a speeding KIA Truck at Asante-Mampong.
Baaba Shaibu, alias "Obama" was sitting in the bucket of the truck and came tumbling when the vehicle hit a pothole.
Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Benjamin Kwadwo Gyasi, Asante-Mampong Divisional Commander of the Motor Traffic and Transport Unit (MTTU), who confirmed the accident to the Ghana News Agency (GNA), said it happened at about 1945 hours.
The truck, driven by Mathew Boakye, 37, was heading towards Abountem from Mampong.
He said Shaibu died whilst being transported to the hospital.
The body of the deceased had since been deposited at the mortuary of the Asante-Mampong Government Hospital for autopsy.
DSP Gyasi warned against carrying people in the bucket of trucks, saying, that it was an illegality.
Offenders, he said, would be arrested and prosecuted.
