Driver feared dead after heavy load under escort fell onto truck at Abura Dunkwa

A truck driver is feared dead after a heavy load, being transported under escort, fell onto his vehicle at Abura Dunkwa.

In a video shared on the X platform, the truck, struggling to bear the weight of the load, collapsed, causing the heavy cargo to fall and completely crush the vehicle. A private vehicle was also caught in the incident. Eyewitnesses, whose voices can be heard in the footage, confirmed that the truck driver was inside the vehicle at the time of the accident.

Reactions on X have sparked concerns about the role of the police in ensuring that only roadworthy vehicles are allowed on the roads.

One user wrote, “The load was obviously too much for the truck. Why do they keep allowing this, and why doesn’t the police intervene when they see these cars? It’s dangerous, and now someone has lost their life because of it.”
