Eyewitnesses say that they had brought the car to wash, and all of a sudden, the car started moving toward the lake. He [the deceased] tried to apply the brakes, but he could not, and the place was so deep that the car fell into the lake, and he could not come out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe place is so steep that once the car moved, the speed continued, and he could not apply the brakes. He fell into the lake with the car, and we suspect that when he fell inside, the car might have hit him, which is why he could not come out. People came and removed him from the water, but he had ingested a lot of water. He was alive when they removed him, but it is difficult to tell whether he later died on his way to the hospital or died at the hospital.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><em><strong>Explore the world of impactful news with CitiNewsroom on WhatsApp!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Click on the link to join the Citi Newsroom channel for curated, meaningful stories tailored just for YOU: https:\/\/whatsapp.com\/channel\/0029VaCYzPRAYlUPudDDe53x<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>No spams, just the stories that truly matter! #StayInformed #CitiNewsroom #CNRDigital<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A man believed to be in his 30s and identified as the official driver of the Oti Regional House of Chiefs lost his life after falling into the Volta Lake.
