A 15-year old girl died in a tragic accident at Sefwi-Nkateaso near Awaso when an old pit from which she was digging red clay collapsed on her.
As has been the traditional practice by typical rural population, 15-year Akosua Boadua had gone for the clay to paint the kitchen.
Akosua went with her two other young girls, but they escaped unhurt.
Police Detective Inspector Tobias Amoadza of the Bibiani Station told the Ghana News Agency (GNA) that the body of the deceased had been deposited at the Bibiani Government Hospital for autopsy.
He said whilst busily engaged in the breaking up of the clay, a loose wall of the pit came tumbling and buried her under a heap soil, killing her instantly.
Boadua fell into the pit at about 0800 hours.
