The report indicates that another attendant who is believed to be visually and hearing impaired also sustained various degrees of injuries after he was pulled out of the wrecked booth.
Giving an account of what occurred, an eyewitness at the scene of the accident said the speed at which the truck was coming was evident that something was definitely not right. He added that it could either be that the driver was inexperienced or his breaks had failed. He said “I saw the tipper driver rushing to the booth at the Tema side. The rate at which he was speeding showed that something was definitely going wrong. Either his brake had failed or he was an inexperienced driver. By the time we realized, he had run into the toll-booth, killing the attendant”.
Monday’s crash adds to the numerous accidents that have occurred already this year and taken numerous lives while leaving several others injured. Per statistics from the National Road Safety Authority (NRSA), road crashes have killed more than 1,000 people in the country from January to April 2021. Most of these accidents are caused as a result of drunk driving, and non-adherence to road traffic regulations as well.
