“The breaks failed and so the driver decided to veer off his lane onto a different one where he thought he could manage to slow down but unfortunately for him run into the ‘Abosey Okai Macho’ and pushed it to wall. The mini cargo truck was badly damaged and the two people onboard had to scream for help”, he noted.

Ansah further told this website that the rescuers had to use a hacksaw blade to cut the ‘Abosey Okai Macho’ truck to save those onboard.
A towing vehicle that was brought in by the Police to tow the truck away has also abandoned the job after all efforts proved futile.
