Lil Win has since been receiving treatment at the Komfo Anokye hospital until his arrest on Monday morning. His manager and personal guard have still been hospitalised and receiving treatment.
Meanwhile, the three-year-old boy has been buried by the bereaved family while his father, Jacob Ampomah who sustained a fractured leg injury is still visiting the hospital for treatment.
Lil Win in a statement released last week refuted allegations by the family of the deceased of neglecting the accident victims and attending to his movie premiere same day after the incident had occurred. Despite the injury sustained, the actor appeared at the premiere of his movie on the night the accident occurred.

He argued that he was only responding to the other members of his crew who had sustained injuries.
He later apologised to the bereaved family for his “insensitive comment” and postponed his movie premiere in Sunyani to mourn with the family.
