When Kwaku Baako informed us about the atrocities of Kwesi Pratt during PNDC Regime, some of us did not believe until the truth was confirmed during the NRC. Kwesi Pratt is the most dangerous Journalist Ghana had ever have, he had the gut to recommend his fellow journalists to be executed by PNDC. Pratt even recommended Baako to be killed by the regime, thank God Baako was instead touchered violently and severely but his life was spared. This is what Kwesi Pratt can do. Now Pratt is a secret agent to NDC and US Embassy in Ghana. May God forgive Pratt and spare him the untold evils that will come upon him and his generations. The souls of those journalist killed through Pratt's recommendations to PNDC will never forgive Pratt. Now Pratt has the guts to take Diplomatic Passport and smuggled his weak-headed children to work at the Ministries under Mills NDC, may God forgive Pratt and his dependance and spare them of the evils ahead of them...

Trailers are not allowed on flyovers. So what was that driver doing there with that TONS of load? Was he trying to destroy the flyover.

He must be arrested and prosecuted...PERIOD.

Author:- .AGBESI . KWESI .....Mahama is so heartless, wicked and corrupt that he wouldn’t blink stealing from a helpless orphan. Please read the following:
Ghana’s President Hurls Insults At Obasanjo At African Forum In London - bloomberg
There was near pandemonium and confusion at the Annual Global African Investment Forum held in Westminster, Central London after a heated exchange between Ghana’s President John Mahama and former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo degenerated into open insults.This was due to General Obasanjo openly accusing the Ghanaian president and his government of blackmailing and collecting bribes from Nigerian businessmen in Ghana, buying numerous properties in Nigeria and South Africa and financially contributing 12 million dollars to Goodluck Jonathan’s campaign last year. This infuriated President Mahama who lost his temper and pointing his finger, called General Obasanjo an ” idiot” and a “silly buffoon”.It took other ministers present as well as Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni to calm tempers and usher President Mahama to a nearby room. The forum, which takes place from 1st to 3rd December is attended by African Heads of States, Ministers, Private equity firms and investors to discuss opportunities for investment and development in African Economies.

Culled from Bloomberg.

Police should as a matter of urgency install speed cameras on and near all interchanges. Drivers caught shuld pay punitive fines. No slapping of the wrists.
No old lady was behind this accident. It can be explained by simple physics. The centrifugal forces were in excess of the frictional resistance forces that prevent vehicles from skidding.
Also the heavy load meant it is difficult to control the velocity of the truck.
All these are AVOIDABLE.

Frank, I am in agreement with your position.....several trailers or even semi-trailer trucks as they are called in the US use flyovers in America on a daily basis. What is missing looking at the flyover is lack of reinforced concrete walls on both sides of the flyover. Yes, a miscalculation on the part of the driver could have caused this mishap on a fray bridge. Yet with strengthened concrete walls on both sides of the flyover a, miscalculation on the part of the driver could have prevented such a mishap.

Articulators or 18-wheelers should not be permitted to use the flyover. Period. There are other routes available for their use. Please let's value life, for once.

CARELESS driving.
When driving on a flyover a speed limit should be 30 MPH.

This has nothing to do with poor construction. TRAILERS ARE NOT ALLOWED ON FLYOVERS. THE DRIVER is an idiot and must be arrested and prosecuted.

Wrong Minta, trailers could be driven on an overpass with reinforced concrete walls on both sides of the overpass. This is happening everywhere in Africa and globally.In the States they are called semi-Trailers. These trucks are longer and heavier than the trailer that was involved in this accident. Reinforced concrete walls on both sides of the overpass could have prevented this mishap.
