They mentioned that quite a number of vehicles were seen in their lane. Still, the aforementioned sprinter driver was using the other shoulder of the road, hitting the KIA Picanto Taxi Cab in the process.
“We saw everything clearly and can say without fear of contradiction that the sprinter vehicle driver was reckless. However, it is the work of the police to investigate what necessitated the accident, which nearly claimed the lives of innocent passengers.

“Sometimes drivers fail their brakes, and some of these happenings are inevitable. We are thankful to God for saving us from this near-fatal accident. It is imperative that drivers engage in periodic maintenance and check on their vehicles on a daily basis before conveying passengers”, they advised.
It didn’t end there, as a driver of a V8 vehicle meeting the scene rained insults and curses on the sprinter driver for receiving his repercussions just in time after scratching his V8 and not speeding off. This allegation on the part of the V8 driver nearly led to a brawl, as it took some individuals at the scene to calm their tempers.
As of the time of filing this report, there was still traffic congestion along the Ashaiman-Tema Overhead stretch, posing undue pressure and discomfort to motorists and pedestrians alike.
