Mr Samuel Ewuah Bruce, Assistant Headmaster of Apam Senior High School, died on the spot at Gomoa Mprumem near Apam Junction on Wednesday afternoon, when an articulated truck collided with his vehicle.

Mr Bruce was on his way to deliver scripts of candidates writing the West African School Certificate Examination when the accident occurred.
