A reliable source disclosed to  peacefmonline.com that a big truck veered into the lane of a taxi cab  and in a bid to avert a headlong collision, the driver of the taxi  accidentally hit the back of the Toyota Matrix which was  close behind  that of Agya Koo\u2019s new SUV.<br \/>\nThe source said described the  incident as a fender-bender since the Toyota Matrix was not damaged in  any way and Agya Koo had no idea something like that had happened since  he was way ahead. \u201cAgya Koo is fine, nothing happened to him or his new  car. He is safe and sound, presently shooting on set,\u201d the source said.<br \/>\nRelatedly, Agya Koo in an interview on Peace FM\u2019s \u201cEntertainment Review\u201d yesterday, Thursday January 27, denounced the rumours and flatly denied being involved in an accident.<br \/>\n\u201cIf you are popular your name will always be mentioned and a lot of things will be said about you, so I am not surprised people are saying things like this about me&#8230;There is nothing wrong with me or the car. The car is parked here as I speak. I drove the car from Accra to Kumasi and I am presently shooting on location at Mankraso, and the car is parked right here. You can send some of your reporters in Kumasi to verify. I have not had any accident,\u201d he said.<br \/>\n&#8220;If a car had hit or crashed into the back of any of my cars, it should be damaged but the car spots not even a single mark\u201d.<br \/>\nAgya Koo received the noncompetitive Founders Merit Award for his immense contribution to the development of the Ghana movie industry, at the time when Nigerian movies had almost taken over the Ghanaian market. He was chosen based on the prerogative of the founder Fred Nuamah.<br \/>\nExplaining the Founders Merit Award, Fred said it is given to anybody who has contributed in an extraordinary way to the movie industry.<br \/>\n\u201cThe same award can go to a movie producer, a Make-up artiste, a Costumier, a Director, an Editor, an upcoming actor or actress, and anybody in the industry way who performed exceptionally well in the year under review. I, as founder, will always decide who merits that particular award,\u201d Fred explained.<br \/>\nSource: Eugene Osafo-Nkansah\/Peacefmonline.com\/<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>News made rounds yesterday in the media that star actor and comedian Kofi Adu, known in showbiz as Agya Koo, was involved in a tragic accident with his new Zoyte SUV prize car in Accra, on his way to Kumasi after organizers of Ghana Movie Awards presented the car to him at the Golden Tulip [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-275115","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Agya Koo Dead?
