A young lady was on Friday night knocked down by a car on the Adenta stretch of the Madina-Adenta-Aburi highway.
The lady, popularly referred to as Ataa, was crossing the Madina-Adenta-Aburi highway with the boyfriend at the area near the SDA Intersection when the vehicle knocked her down at about 8pm.
Passers-by claim that another speeding vehicle run over her when she fell upon the first impact.
Both vehicles sped off.
Agitation
Irate youth at the scene alleged that when the Adenta Motor Traffic and Transport Division (MTTD) was called for help to transport the victim to the hospital, they delayed and Ataa lay by the side of the road, where she had been pulled to by sympathisers until she died.
The incident angered the youth, who blocked the highway for about an hour and a half with mini-billboards, stones, big yellow gallons, popularly referred to as 'Kufuor gallon', wooden boards and stones.
The angry residents also burnt tyres and pelted vehicles caught in the traffic with sachet water.
While doing that, they chanted and sang, "fix our footbridges!" "Fix our footbridges!"
