  Gh journalists can't tell the difference between "accident" & "incident".

  It would also appear that they are unable to compose a meaningful string of words. What may I ask is the phrase ‘The incident caused traffic on the busy road’ supposed to convey to the reader?

  Cutting corners and lack of due diligence has become the order of the day. Life is hard and money is tight so the police will take noko fio to allow loose cannons to operate freely until someone gets hurt or die.

  What the police should be doing as they collect salary from our taxes can not be relegated to God. That's so defeatist.

  In the US, the police takes care of that and not GOD. There're ways to fasten a container to a flatbed and failure to do that will result to an arrest on the sport, so the driver won't go further to cause any accident.
  Do you want to tell me no police ever stopped this driver since he embarked on that deadly journey?

  Why do you think those people in Uniform are QUALIFIED POLICE? Don't be deceived, more than the majority of them are the silenced NDC 'Footsoldiers'. They have been secretely sneaked into the system without them knowing any traffic rule, or Road Traffic Signal.
  Their 'Traffic Control' is mostly meant for collecting money from drivers, but not for checking the road worthiness of the vehicles, or recognising a dangerous situation.
  
  Ghanaians are just comfortable when we can blame God, or the Witches for anything that goes bad, forgetting that we defiantly disobeyed God when He asked us to use our Brains.
  
  Who elected the corrupt and incompetent government that employed the unqualified Policeman who took a bribe and allowed the drunken driver with his tattered vehicle and unsecured load on the delapidated road to kill other road users

  Hang on a minute!
  
  If the protection of this mythical nonentity ‘God’ is required to begin
  with, for it only then to be necessarily followed by a raft of other measures by more tangible sources such as drivers, IGP and the Police, it doesn’t say much for the efficacy of ‘God’ in the first instance does it?
  
  Just what is it that ‘God’ would supposedly be providing that is different from what the rest of them are supposed to then do as an adjunct to his measures in the first place?
  
  What complete load of nonsense this reliance on the protection of ‘God’ malarkey is!

  What is the job of our police personnel in Ghana? May be the said container was not properly lashed on the truck with a container belt yet it has passed through some few police check points
