Accra, Ghana – Commuters on the busy 37–Kawukudi road were left stranded after a fallen tree crashed onto vehicles and caused severe traffic congestion, disrupting movement along the major route.
The incident reportedly occurred after the tree collapsed onto vehicles, damaging some cars and creating a major obstruction on the roadway. The blockage quickly led to heavy traffic buildup as motorists struggled to navigate the affected stretch.
Eyewitnesses described scenes of confusion and frustration as drivers were forced to slow down or find alternative routes while authorities worked to clear the obstruction.
Emergency teams and relevant authorities were expected to move in to remove the fallen tree and restore normal traffic flow, while motorists were urged to exercise patience and use alternative routes where possible.
The incident has once again highlighted concerns about road safety, the maintenance of roadside trees, and the need for timely intervention to prevent hazards on major roads, especially during periods of strong winds and heavy rains.
Authorities continue to advise road users to remain alert and report potential dangers on highways and urban roads to help prevent accidents and minimize disruptions.
