Three pedestrians and an Uber driver are in coma after a long trailer ran over them at Kasoa Tollbooth on the Accra-Kasoa highway.
One person is also reported to have died instantly when a container on the trailer fell on a small car.
According to information, the long trailer carrying two heavy 40ft containers was from Accra, heading towards Kasoa and upon reaching Bonegas junction, the driver lost steering control and climbed the pavement, colliding with a Toyota Vitz Uber with registration number GC 8344-21.
The accident created a heavy vehicular traffic close to three hours
Speaking to the media, some eyewitnesses narrated that the long trailer “was on a top speed” when the 40ft container fell on the saloon car killing one person instantly.
They complained that such accidents were rapidly occurring on that stretch, especially at night, attributing it to lack of street lights on the highway.
They, therefore, called on the authority to install street lights on the stretch.
