Her kind service to the victim did not end there as she went ahead to foot the medical bills of the victim.
The report indicated that the MP said out of empathy and seeing that she could help the situation, she decided to transport them to the hospital.
“I witnessed a near-fatal accident on my way to Parliament around the Dodowa Oyibi Road, no taxi was willing to pick the victim because he was seriously bleeding. Looking at his condition I felt he could die without emergency medical intervention so I picked him in my V8 vehicle to the hospital. I paid for his medical bill and I am happy his condition has been stabilized," she said.
She however blamed the accident on poor road conditions and made a case for the commercial motor riders to be insured.
