Driver of truck that got stuck to footbridge on N1 arrested

Police are investigating the circumstances that led to a loaded lowbed truck getting stuck to the Hong Kong Footbridge on the N1 Highway on Sunday, October 3.

As a result, the driver of the Tema-bound truck, Isaac Ayittey, has been arrested.

The truck with registration number WR 1546-U has also been impounded at the Odorkor Police Station.

It took hours for the police and officials of the Ghana Highway Authority as well as some welders for the truck to be removed to allow free and safe flow of traffic.

“The Police Administration thanks the motorists and other road users who ply that stretch for their cooperation, and the Ghana Highway Authority, for their timely support,” the Ghana Police Service said in a statement on Sunday.

“The Administration cautions all road users to comply with the road traffic laws to avoid preventable road crashes and congestions.”
