The Ghana Police Service has arrested a 12-year-old boy and a 34-year-old man in connection with a viral video showing the minor driving a heavy-duty articulated truck.
A police news brief said the adult suspect was believed to be the driver of the DAF XF 105 articulated truck with registration number GS 3097-20.
It said both suspects were currently in the custody of the Central Motor Traffic and Transport Department (MTTD) in Accra, assisting with investigations.
The Police cautioned parents, guardians and vehicle owners against allowing minors or unlicensed persons to operate motor vehicles, particularly heavy-duty trucks.
Such acts endangered lives and contravened the Road Traffic Act, it said.
The Police also appealed to the public to support efforts to improve road safety by reporting similar incidents and promoting responsible road use. –GNA
