Graphic Version
Minutes after performing at the Akuafo Hall of the University of Ghana, early last Friday, in a Hall Week Celebration, 21 year old Terry Bonchaka, a popular Hiplife Artiste, died.
He died in a fatal accident on the Legon-Madina road when the vehicle in which he was riding, together with one Rasta, suddenly veered off the road and hit a tree.
Giving an eye-witness account, a member of his group, Ayisola, said he and two other members of Bonchaka's group who were closely following Bonchaka's car in a taxi, immediately rushed to the rescue of the Hiplife Artiste and one other Rasta.
He said Terry, unlike Rasta, was brought out of the car unconscious. Meanwhile the taxi driver who had been told to wait while the rescue operation took place, had left.
About 30 minutes later, according to Ayisoba, a good Samaritan stopped his car to transport them to the hospital. This was after several other drivers had ignored their flagging to stop to help.
Sadly, Terry Bonchaka was pronounced dead when he was taken to the 37 Military Hospital, grief striken Ayisoba said. [Published by Ghanaweb]
