A Burkina Faso-registered truck carrying cartons of Oba Spaghetti overturned on the Tema to Accra stretch of the Motorway near KICC, leading to significant traffic congestion.
The truck spilled its cargo onto the roadside, obstructing one lane of the dual-carriageway.
Christian Atsu Tsikata, a Channel One TV staff member, reported, “it was unusual that there was traffic when we were getting to KICC because it is often free during that time of the day because it was around 5:10 am at the time we came across the truck.”
Mr. Tsikata noted, “the traffic situation will worsen as we get into the day because even if the truck is towed, they will still have to manually clear the things from the road and that will delay people using the stretch.”
The morning rainfall is anticipated to exacerbate the traffic situation, a common occurrence during rainy weather.
