Heavy rainfall on Monday, April 8, caused chaos on the Accra-Kumasi highway as parts of Accra were submerged in floodwater.

The downpour, lasting over an hour, led to a massive traffic jam, leaving motorists stranded and commuters struggling to reach their destinations.

Ofankor Barrier, a particularly flood-prone area, was severely affected, with floodwaters inundating major parts of the road. Vehicles found it challenging to navigate through the flooded areas, exacerbating the already congested traffic situation.

Workers and students relying on public transportation were among the most affected, as they were left stranded due to the impassable roads.
