A video that emerged yesterday showing a timber truck losing control on a busy Ghanaian road has reignited conversations about road safety, after the vehicle spilled its heavy load close to moving cars and pedestrians.
The truck appeared to lose control or break down, causing the timber it was carrying to fall off onto the road while cars and people were nearby.
It was a dangerous situation that could have escalated quickly, and the footage quickly spread online, with many calling on the government to act.
Yaw Dabo blames dangerous ramp for repeated incidents
Popular Ghanaian actor Yaw Dabo took to his social media pages to lament the situation.
According to him, such incidents have happened several times, with the government ignoring the problem and the public instead turning the conversation into politics.
He explained that a ramp on the road makes it difficult for such trucks to climb, causing them to lose control and create dangerous situations.
Dabo noted that the road is close to where his academy, the Yaw Dabo Academy, is located, and said he would not wait for a tragedy to happen before taking action.
The actor gave the Urban Roads Authority an ultimatum to fix the ramp, or he would take matters into his own hands and break it himself.
He added that he was not afraid of any consequences, including the possibility of being arrested over the matter.
