In Accra, a long truck slid off the Achimota overhead bridge onto the road beneath, causing a serious accident.
According to eyewitnesses, the driver of the truck braked suddenly to avoid hitting another vehicle ahead, which led to the incident.
The truck lost control, veered onto the pavement, and crashed through the bridge railing as a result of the sudden stop. The heavy vehicle then fell to the road below after tumbling from the overhead.
Fortunately, the driver of the truck was rescued unharmed. No injuries or damage to other vehicles were reported in the accident, which is surprising given the seriousness of the situation.
Eyewitnesses who were present at the scene expressed shock at how the incident unfolded.
The police and emergency services arrived at the scene shortly after the accident. They worked to clear the debris and ensure the safety of motorists using the road.
However, the authorities have launched an investigation to determine the full cause of the accident and whether there were any mechanical issues with the truck.
The Achimota overhead bridge is a busy road that connects different parts of Accra, and incidents like this raise concerns about safety measures on the bridge.
In the scene, some bystanders have called on the authorities to strengthen the railings on the bridge to prevent similar accidents in the future.
No lives were lost in this incident, but it serves as a reminder for drivers to exercise caution, especially on busy roads and overhead bridges.
