The accident scene

A tollbooth attendant at the Tema motorway is feared dead after a tipper truck driver rammed the booth early this morning, Monday, 12 July 2021.

The body of the dead attendant could be seen in a video that captured the aftermath of the crash, lying motionless by the accident scene.

Apart from the dead attendant, a visually- and hearing-impaired attendant also got injured in the accident.

Aside the damaged 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, a son of the injured attendant, said after receiving information about the accident, he rushed to the hospital only to meet his dad with both legs crushed.
