The country’s roads are increasingly becoming a present danger, with accidents, including fatalities, reaching alarming proportions.
Statistics at the Motor Traffic and Transport Department (MTTD) of the Ghana Police Service indicate that 771 people lost their lives in road-related accidents between January and March this year.
This was an increase of 29.58 per cent over the figure for the same period in 2020, which was 595.
The Head of Education, Research and Training at the MTTD, Superintendent of Police Mr Alexander Obeng, told the Daily Graphic yesterday that on the average, nine people died from road accidents on a daily basis.
