About seven persons, including a driver, have been injured in an accident involving a commercial vehicle with registration number GE 1848-11 and a pickup with registration number GR 5445-Z at Alajo in Accra.
One of the drivers is said to be in critical condition after the incident, which occurred on Friday, March 29, 2024.
According to an eyewitness, the commercial vehicle coming from Lapaz towards Kwame Nkrumah Circle smashed the rear of the pickup truck.
The front of the vehicle was badly mangled, and passengers had to jump out of the windows to save their lives.
The driver was, however, trapped, and passersby had to rush to rescue him.
“The car almost went up in flames because the engine was still on, so we had to disconnect some wires to avert the fire,” he stated.
Through the intervention of policemen at the Alajo traffic light, the victims were rushed to the hospital for treatment in a taxi.
“No driver didn’t want to pick them up because they were bleeding profusely, but the policemen forcibly stopped a taxi driver who conveyed them to the hospital”.
