A cargo truck has fallen on its side on the Kwame Nkrumah Circle interchange causing gridlock on that stretch.
The driver of the vehicle whose names has not been disclosed was however brought out of the car unhurt.
The Police and the Ghana Ambulance service arrived at the scene to bring the situation under control
Narrating the sequence of events to Citi News, an eyewitness said that the cargo truck was carrying raw materials for the production of pampers and sanitary pads.
According to the eyewitness, the driver of the vehicle lost control of the truck, when trying to use the overpass, as the load was heavy hence making the steering of the truck difficult.
The truck fell on the passenger side of the vehicle as other vehicles were not close by the truck.
The driver was the only person in the vehicle.
The traffic situation at the Kwame Nkrumah circle interchange worsened as a result of the accident.
Traffic on the overpass was diverted.
“I heard a very loud sound on the bridge, I thought it was thunder. The sound was very loud and scary. So we got to the overhead and I saw the huge truck lying on its side…. The driver was the only one in the vehicle. The load was very heavy and it made the climbing difficult for the driver. It is unclear if the driver had been taken to the hospital, but he said he was okay.”
“I understand the truck was carrying raw materials for pampers and sanitary pads,” an eyewitness said.
