ANOTHER MP INVOLVED IN ACCIDENT (PAGE 31)

Few days after the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Member of Parliament for Amenfi West, Mr John Gyetuah, was involved in a fatal motor accident, another MP of the same party, Mr Dari Soditey, also nearly lost his life last Saturday in a head-on collision.
He is the MP for Sawla-Tuna-Kalba in the Northern Region. Two people lost their lives in the accident that occurred at Pissi, a few kilometres from Wa, after a VW Passat veered off its lane and collided with the MP’s pick-up.
The deceased have been identified as Quarshie Worlanyo, 46, an employee of the Wa office of the Town and Country Planning Department, and 20-year old Musah Sani, a mechanic.
Confirming the accident to the Daily Graphic in Wa, the Upper West Regional Commander of the Police Motor Traffic and Transport Union (MTTU), DSP John Ferguson Dzineku, said Worlanyo was driving a VW Passat from Pissi to Wa, after repair works on the vehicle, with Musa Sani and one Gandaa Gaddafi on board.
He said the MP, who was being driven by James Soditey, 27 years, was heading towards the Pissi area from Wa.
According to him, on reaching a spot at Pissi, the VW Passat veered off its lane and collided with the MP’s pick-up.
DSP Dzineku said Musa Sani died on the spot while Quarshie Worlanyo died later at the regional hospital.
“Gaddafi and all the occupants on the MP’s pick-up sustained injuries and were rushed to the Wa Hospital,” he told the Daily Graphic.
Meanwhile, Mr Dari Soditey and one other casualty were yesterday morning flown from Wa to Accra for further medical attention while Musa Sani has been buried according to Islamic tradition.
The body of Quarshie Worlanyo has been deposited at the regional hospital mortuary.
