this part of Ghana where I come from and its daily accident rate is almost an impossible to rectify situation now, Drivers should use their heads and drive carefully and passengers should not keep queit and watch fulish drivers overspeed anyhow. May the injured get well quick and may the souls of the fallen rest peacefully in the bossom of Father Abraham till resurrection day. Amen.
We must get the road engineers to that place to see how to redesign to avoid the avoidance of such accidents .
I bleed the blood of Jesus on all the roads in Ghana. From the North to the South, form the East to the West and by the power in the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, i declared all the roads free in Jesus Mighty name. Let all the demons go to hell in Jesus name. Enough is enough.
Almost the same area andah had his accident. One may ask, were the injured in that accident also airlifted? Just a question, to expose the wickedness of our politicians. It's all about them and no one else, but when they need our votes they come begging.
