Some poeple who escaped unhurt disclosed that, they were all outside when thier structures were completely destroyed in the accident

The trailer with registration number GS- 6983-21 was transporting the Plywoods from Goaso to Accra.

Driver of the vehicle Mohammed Idrisu in an interview said the car which  was well loaded experienced some balancing after journeying through what he described as poor road.

He added that the sheets of plywoods came off the car when he decided to negotiate a curve on the Interchange.

At the time of filing this report, no security official had come to the scene to help clear the road for commuters.
