Veteran Ghanaian actress, Pascaline Edwards, has recently recounted a terrifying ordeal she went through while driving on the Accra-Tema motorway.
Taking to social media, she described how her tire and rim were severely damaged due to the deplorable condition of the road, almost resulting in a fatal accident.
In a Twitter post where she recounted the incident, Pascaline Edwards emphasized that had it not been for divine intervention, she might not have survived.
“I could’ve died on the motorway yesterday. Burst tire and broken rim. If it wasn’t for God,” she recounted.
This incident is not an isolated one, as several celebrities had previously shared their own dangerous encounters during the #OccupyJulorbi protest, shedding light on the perilous condition of the Accra-Tema motorway.
Comedian SDK, in particular, recounted a close call where he narrowly avoided a life-threatening situation due to a driver’s inability to detect a hazardous pothole. The incident amplifies the urgent need for improved road conditions and safety measures.
“We are exercising our rights; we need good roads. I stay at Spintex; you have passed the motorway before, right? I almost died on the Tema-Motorway because one driver did not know that there was a pothole, not even a pothole but a manhole,” SDK lamented in an interview with TV3.
