MP LOSES SON IN ACCIDENT (PAGE 21)

THE son of the National Democratic Congress Member of Parliament (MP) for Amenfi West Constituency, Mr John Gyetuah, who was involved in an accident with his father, died in the early hours of Saturday at the Effia-Nkwanta Regional Hospital.
The MP was said to be responding to treatment at the Dixcove Hospital in the Ahanta West District of the Western Region.
He is expected to be transported to Accra for further medical care soon.
According to officials at the Effia-Nkwanta Regional Hospital, Mr Ebenezer Twene 22, a second-year student of the University of Cape Coast, was brought in with serious head injury, while he bled through his nose and mouth.
He explained that he and his team did everything possible to save the deceased, adding: “We lost him barely 24 hours after he was brought to the hospital”.
Mr Twene’s body has since been deposited at the Effia-Nkwanta Regional Hospital mortuary.
The Western Regional Secretary of the NDC, Mr J. R. K. Kobina, had visited the MP when the Daily Graphic arrived at the hospital.
It will be recalled that the MP and his son were involved in an accident at about 2 a.m. on their way to his constituency.
The MP’s driver, however, died right on the spot.
