Sex worker dies in tragic accident following altercation with Taxi Driver

A 28-year-old sex worker has tragically lost her life after being struck by a tipper truck at Triple X near Buduburam on the Kasoa-Winneba Highway.

The incident occurred on Friday night (September 8, 2023).

The deceased, known as Anabel, had hired a taxi from Kasoa to Awutu Bereku to visit a client.

However, when they reached the Triple X area, a dispute erupted between Anabel and the taxi driver.

Anabel alleged that the driver had engaged in sexual activity with her but had refused to pay her the agreed-upon service fee of GH¢80.

An eyewitness, Ama Serwaa, recounted that she intervened to separate Anabel and the taxi driver, but tension persisted.

Determined to collect her fee, the sex worker sat in the middle of the highway, blocking the taxi driver’s path.

Unfortunately for her, a speeding tipper truck driver from Awutu Bereku ran into her, leading to her immediate and untimely death.

The body was subsequently transported to St. Gregory Hospital, and the tipper truck driver was arrested and taken to the Buduburam District Police Command.

Meanwhile, the police have commenced investigations to establish further details surrounding this unfortunate incident.
