Cape Coast, March 08, GNA – A Level 200 Bachelor of Commerce (Finance) student at the University of Cape Coast (UCC) has been crashed to death by a bus on campus.
The deceased, Mr Caleb Kweku Mensah, met his untimely death on Thursday, March 5, when he was riding a motorbike to the Oguaa Hall to collect his identification card for a scheduled examination.
