Investigations into the demise of a schoolgirl, Gloria Segoe, at Tomefa in the Ga South Municipality near Kasoa have led to the arrest of her boyfriend.
The Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) in a post on Facebook, wrote, "the boyfriend is now in police custody assisting with the investigation."
The GNFS rescue personnel on Monday night retrieved the lifeless body from a pool of water at Tomefa in the Ga South Municipality.
Reports indicate that Gloria was a student at Keta Business Senior High School.
She was reportedly in town to visit her boyfriend. The body was handed over to the police.
An investigation is underway to determine the circumstances surrounding her untimely passing.
In an unrelated event, a road accident on the Winneba-Apam Highway on Monday, June 23, has led to the death of three individuals, with four others in critical condition.
There was a head-on collision at Nantwibuw on the Winneba–Apam highway, involving a Hyundai Jett (CR 748-20) and a Toyota RAV4 (GN 5507-18).
The rescue crew of the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) led by STNO II Nyarko, successfully extricated the unresponsive body of the trapped taxi driver, which was handed over to the police.
Other victims, mainly students from Uncle Rich and St. Paul schools, had already been conveyed to the Trauma and Specialist Hospital prior to the arrival of the crew, according to the GNFS.
A follow-up by the rescue team confirmed seven casualties, with four in critical condition receiving treatment.
Per recent reports, three of the students have passed away. Media reports suggest an additional fatality, bringing the death toll to four.
The Hyundai Jett was completely damaged beyond repair, while the RAV4 sustained partial damage to the front side, windscreen, and engine compartment.
An investigation is currently underway to determine the exact cause of the crash.
However, eyewitness accounts suggest that wrongful overtaking may have contributed to the incident.
The GNFS, following the unfortunate incident, has cautioned drivers to avoid wrongful overtaking and adhere to road safety regulations to prevent fatal crashes.
