Bridge in Wa collapse after heavy rains

Meanwhile, YEN.com.gh reported earlier that residents of Meteu and a vast cluster of adjoining agricultural communities within the Wa West District were completely cut off from the rest of the region.

The severe structural failure occurred following a violent, prolonged downpour, which triggered flash floods that violently breached and collapsed the local community bridge.

The disaster has left hundreds of commuters stranded, completely paralysing local trade, healthcare transits, and leaving vulnerable school pupils unable to safely navigate their way back to their families.
