A TIPPER TRUCK CRASHED  TWO CARS AND A TRICYCLE AT CAPE COAST (UCC)

A tipper truck crashed into a toll booth in Ghana, resulting in the death of cleaner Isaac K. Koomson and injuring six others. The driver was arrested, and investigations are ongoing to determine the cause of the accident.

In a separate incident, the same truck lost control of its brakes while carrying heavy sacks, veering off its lane and crashing into oncoming vehicles at a junction. The truck eventually overturned, spilling its cargo on the roadside. Fortunately, no fatalities were reported, but the incident left drivers and passengers in panic.

The damaged cars were towed to alleviate traffic congestion on the road. This incident highlights the potential dangers of brake failure and loss of control, underscoring the importance of ensuring the safety of drivers, passengers, and pedestrians on our roads. Investigations are expected to identify the exact cause of the accident and inform measures to prevent similar occurrences in the future
