Two persons, a man and his child, were said to have been carried away in a pick-up vehicle they were traveling by flooding water at Flamingo near Kaneshie Zongo Junction in Accra.
The body of a man believed to have been drowned, was also discovered at Awudome after the rain stopped and the flooding water subsided.
The circumstances under which the fourth person died and where, according to the Greater Accra Regional Director of NADMO, Archibald Cobbina, are not immediately known as the information was based on reports they received from residents.
