A four-year-old girl died after she was knocked down by an unknown motorist, whilst crossing the road.

The victim, who was in the company of her friends, could not catch up with the pace when crossing the road and was knocked down by a speeding vehicle, killing her instantly at Kudzra, a suburb of Kpando-Tafi.

She is reported to have followed her friends when they were sent on an errand yesterday, February 10, 2022, around 5:30 pm.
