Grader Machine Crushes Two Nursing Trainees To Death

Two nursing trainees at the Asankragwa Midwifery and Training College have met their untimely death a few hours after reporting to school on Saturday, January 15.

Priscilla Antwi Williams, a Level 300 student and her Level 200 counterpart, Ellen Kwoffie, had gone to town to braid their hair and get some food items.

The two were crushed to death while returning to campus aboard a tricycle, popularly known as ‘Pragya’ by a grader machine.

The driver of the grader machine is currently on the run.

The bodies of the deceased have been deposited at the Catholic Hospital morgue.
