At Daboase Junction, a car carrying a driver and two passengers drifted off the Takoradi-Cape Coast highway and into a nearby stream. The three were fortunate to have survived.
An eyewitness who talked to Adomonline.com claims that on Sunday, April 30, 2023, the driver was traveling from Takoradi to Accra when he attempted to swerve around a pothole. Unfortunately, this caused his automobile to become airborne, and it somersaulted till it crashed in the muddy water.
It took some of the passersby, who were mainly locals, to swim to the rescue of the travellers who were stuck in a grey Hyundai Elantra registered vehicle.
Luckily, none of them got severely injured with the locals saying the incident would have been deadly if it had occurred in the night.
They had to cut the seatbelt of the lady who was locked in the front passenger seat, subsequently, the impact of the accident activated the airbags of the saloon car.
