Okoh Pinehas Chartey, the driver of late Ghanaian musician-Ebony Reigns has been remanded into prison custody by the Nkawie Circuit Court three (3) years after the car crash that took her life and other people.
If you would recall, Ebony known in private life as Priscilla Opoku Kwarteng, Franklina Maame Yaa Nkansah and Lance Corporal Vondee Atsu Francis passed on following a car crash on the Sunyani-Kumasi highway.
After the sad incident which happened on February 8, 2018, the driver pleaded not guilty to the charges of dangerous driving and driving without a license when he appeared before the court, according to a GNA report sighted by Newshuntermag.com.
The driver is expected to reappear before the court presided by Mr Johnson Abbey on March 24, 2021.
Police Chief Inspector Jonas Newlove Agyei narrated to the court how Okoh’s decision to swerve a heap of sand on his lane, unfortunately, caused the accident.
He was rushed to the Bechem Government Hospital for treatment after he sustained injuries, but Ebony Reigns, Franklina and Lance Corporal Vondee sadly couldn’t survive.
Chief Inspector Agyei further stated investigations revealed that Okoh’s driving license had expired on August 28, 2015, before the accident.
He indicated that the driver charged and brought before the court following advice from the Attorney General’s Office.
