He later visited the Tema General Hospital where he was told about the demise of Isaac Kojo Koomson who sustained multiple fracture to the legs and arm.
He consoled the remaining six victims and assured them of the government’s support.
Earlier in the morning, Monday, 12 July 2021, a tipper truck crashed into the tollbooth.
Two attendants a visually- and hearing-impaired man were among the injured.
