In October 2024 alone, Ghana has witnessed a distressing wave of road accidents, leaving many families mourning and bringing attention to the country's escalating road safety crisis, as it were.
These fatal crashes reflect the urgent necessity for stricter enforcements of traffic laws, infrastructural improvements, and heightened public awareness on safe driving practices.
On October 30, a fatal accident occurred at Tesano, Accra, where a police Yutong bus, with registration number GP 417, collided with a Royal motorbike at the Tesano Zongo intersection.
The bus driver reportedly attempted to avoid traffic by entering the opposite lane, striking the motorcyclist, who was pronounced dead on arrival at the hospital.
