Although it is unclear what caused the driver of the vehicle to lose control, some residents have asked the Assembly to consider building speed ramps along the stretch.

They claim that drivers on the stretch are reckless, despite the fact that Ayeduase is a hub for students due to the number of hostels in the area and its proximity to the KNUST campus.

The vehicle also killed two sheep in the process.
