A toddler has lost his life under tragic circumstances at Awutu Ahuntem near Bawjiase in the Central Region. The one and half-year-old died when a truckload of sand was offloaded on him on October 13. This followed a bizarre turn of events after his father had requested that sand be brought onto their premises for construction work. Upon arrival of the tipper truck, the father directed the driver to a site where he was supposed to deposit the material. Little did he know that his son had followed him to the said area.

They heeded the advice and dug through the sand where they, unfortunately, discovered the lifeless body of the infant. This has left the family in shock and disbelief as his fath...
