The life of a physically-challenged shoemaker ended tragically on Saturday, when a private saloon car runs-over him along the Sunyani-Abesim highway.
Sompa FM learnt that the deceased popularly known in the area as "connection" had gone for a phone charger from a friend, and was returning home when the driver of the car lost control, hit and stretched the body for distance.
It happened around the Oti Yeboah Company Limited (OYCL) portion of the stretch, and when the Sompa Fm got to the scene around 3:30pm, the police had arrived to pick the body, as several bystanders who had covered the body with leaves, discussed the crash.
His mobile phone, crunches, sandals and the phone charger were left behind the body.
The driver of the car, believed to be in his 70s, the bystanders told Sompa FM had since reported himself to the Abesim police station and placed in custody, aiding police investigations.
An eyewitness, Kwabena Yeboah, said the crash happened around 3pm when the driver of the car lost control, veered off the road, and some people including food vendors along the stretch fled for their precious lives.
However, the deceased could not escape due to his condition, and was accordingly knocked down by the car, killing him instantly.

A month after security agencies failed to uncover the gruesome murder of a popular chopbar operator at Anloga in the Volta Region, the family of the deceased has decided to engage the thunder god at Nogokpo, Togbi Zakadzs, to help unveil the culprits behind the crime
Consequently, the family has obtained the permission of the Dufia of Anloga and Dome Fiaga of the Anle State, Togbi Zewu IV, to beat the gong-gong to inform the community about their intention to find the perpetrators of the dastardly act through a kind of "trial by ordeal' at the Nogokpo Yewe traditional temple. "The purpose of beating the gong gong is very necessary because it is a way of making the town aware of your intention of seeking spiritual intervention from the Yewe Shrine of Nogokpo".
The Nogokpo Shrine in the Ketu South Municipality of the Volta Region is considered one of the most powerful traditional temples in the country
Nogokpo, a small town near Agbozume and about 16 kilometres to Aflao, is shrouded in mystery because of the number of patrons who seek interventions from the Yewe shrine, making it a fierce force to reckon with.
Many people also visit the shrine to seek justice from the gods when they feel treated unfairly or wronged. Speaking to the media, a priest at the shrine, Dogbatsey Tengey, said Zakadza was more active and potent now than before without any signs of losing its potency.
On the operations of the shrine, Togbi Tengey said when families of victims of a crime approached the shrine, rituals would be performed after which emissaries would be deployed to beat the gong gong for the perpetrators of the crime to willingly turn themselves in for justice to be served.
Togbi Tengey said in the unlikely event that those who committed the crime did not confess to their crime, the family would report back to the shrine for another ritual to be performed and the gong-gong beaten for the second time.
After that second effort to solicit self-confession, the wrath of the god would begin to visit the criminal and his or her family.
Dorcas Korkor Tetteh, 60, the operator of The Base Chopbar, was found lying lifeless on the floor in her room at Anloga, Dornorgbor in the wee hours of Saturday, December 28, last year.
