Road safety concerns in Ghana
The Ajumako Kokoben crash adds to a pattern of road accidents that emergency agencies across Ghana have been working to address.
The National Road Safety Authority has consistently urged motorists to observe speed limits, drive with care, and comply with road traffic regulations, particularly on major highways where fatal crashes continue to be recorded with troubling frequency.
Road users have faced repeated calls to exercise greater caution, with agencies warning that reckless behaviour behind the wheel remains a significant contributor to the number of lives lost on Ghanaian roads each year.
