On reaching a section of the road at Prince Boateng Memorial School, the brakes of the truck allegedly failed, causing it to run into vehicles ahead of it.
This resulted in the death of the four women.
Even though the remains of the deceased have been deposited at the Nsawam government hospital for identification and autopsy, the crashed vehicles are yet to be towed from the scene.
