Restrain from retaliation:

The Quran teaches that responding to abuse with more abuse is unproductive. Instead, one should control their anger and avoid engaging in fruitless arguments.

Practice graceful withdrawal:

A "beautiful manner" of withdrawal means to separate oneself from those who provoke in a dignified and non-aggressive way.

Seek help through prayer:

The Quran advises seeking help through patience and prayer (2:45), emphasizing that true patience requires relying on God's strength.

Persevere with wisdom:

Patience is not about giving up but is an active process of perseverance. It allows one to use their intellect and emotions to find a result-oriented course of action rather than being overwhelmed by emotions.

Recognize the bigger picture:

The Quran suggests that a righteous person remains silent not out of fear, but because they trust in God's ultimate justice

The reporting is poor. The report should have indicated that the driver of the reversing jeep that had suffered the brake failure had lost control of his vehicle.

Reversing on a high way was wrong in all respects on the high way code .But over speeding by the sprinter driver may have caused a lot of injuries and deaths. How can a vehicles fly in the air on collision in a build up area. The maximum speed on that area is 50km so how did he fly in the air if he was not overspending?

That is why most of Ghanaians who call themselves experience drivers need to go to driving school before they are allowed to drive in most countries abroad.

its the same everywhere. people are immature and stupid like children but when you have leadership that is also immature, irresponsible and lazy you get what you see in ghana. we have irresponsible, immature people in the west like canada, america, britain but the difference between those nations and ghana is leadership. so you telling me nne of these leaders have driven close to a toolbooth in a foreign nation before? these roads in gh have no speed limit signs. the toolbooth has no cameras, no police. there must be speed bumps at least 300 meters before you approach any tolbooth.

So ghanaweb don't be a jack of all trades. How on Earth can an accident involving a vehicle reserving on the highway against on coming traffic be attributed to break failure? The reversing vehicle driver was negligent, he or she did not take other road users into consideration before his reckless and inconsiderate driving. The police investigators must not try to do any shoody work. Since the blood of all dead victims will be on their head.

I used that road to work in Accra every day for over ten years and I can say that over 80 percent of the drivers during the period were just plain stupid. You don't even understand where they are speeding to. Especially, on that stretch between GBC and toll booth.

I pointed out to one driver that he was doing over 80km per hour in a 50km per hour zone and he told me he doesn't go by the speed limit signs along roads because they were mistakenly left there by road contractors during construction of the roads when drivers needed to drive within safe limits because of on going construction works. I couldn't believe my ears.

Taking all these conditions into account, ALL DRIVERS SHOULD SERIOUSLY CUT DOWN THEIR SPEED.

Then, there will be TIME to slow down or take emergency action.

Most of our transport drivers are illiterate and lack good knowledge of driving rules. Also lots of them have poor vision. Have you seen any of them wearing glasses? Most are also intoxicated with different substances while working. Mix that with overspending and you have a recipe for accidents. Indiscipline is the root cause of Ghana's problems.

Where in the US can you find a destroyed car or lorry packed anywhere. The government should find towing cars and pay them because the rate at which destroyed cars are killing most travelers is very alarming

Why did we lose 8 people in this accident at that place? Yes, the jeep caused it but,why do we have to lose soo much lives. In Ghana, it's haram for a passenger to tell a driver to reduce his speed. The driver gets mad hearing that statement and they will continue to kill us until something is done about this. Surprisingly gprtu hasn't seen anything wrong with their members killing people and dying in accidents in high numbers and so the government should come in here. Also splinter drivers are bad drivers and should be stopped from going long distance

But there's a police post on that stretch just after the tollbooth. So why should they take 30mins to get there. Now b'cos of the driver's flowed thinking of reversing on the highway. That driver could've seek for help by asking someone to flag incoming vehicles to slow down. Anyway, it has happened and it's rather sad for people to loose their lives in such a manner. The authorities should draw lessons from this by constructing an emergency health post on that highway and even all highways in the country. B'cos thinking of sending casualties to Winneba hospital, just look at the distance, or Police hospital and Ridge hospital. Even the traffic situation is another matter.
