Attendants at the Accra-bound side of the Tema motorway have resumed toll collection after the process was suspended due to an accident earlier this morning.

Drivers who used the road during the time of the accident drove freely to and from Accra to Tema.

It has taken about four hours for the collection to resume.

Earlier in the morning, Monday, 12 July 2021, a tipper truck crashed into the tollbooth.

Two attendants got seriously injured.

One of them could be seen in a video that captured the aftermath of the crash, lying motionless.

The other victim is a visually- and hearing-impaired man.

Aside from the damage caused to the tollbooth, two vehicles, including a saloon car with registration number GT 469-10, whose occupants also sustained some injuries, was destroyed beyond repairs.

Eyewitnesses surmise that either the driver failed his brakes or was inexperienced.

Meanwhile, Mr Jeffery Koomson, the son of one of the injured attendants, said after receiving information about the accident, he rushed to the hospital only to meet his dad with both legs crushed.
