Rampant accidents occurring in the country are nothing to write home about so the government, as a matter of urgency needs to put some measures in place to curtail their occurrence.
An accident that occurred at Sapeiman on the Accra-Nsawam Highway has claimed the life a motor rider.
According to an eyewitness, “it is so unfortunate that numerous accidents normally occur during Christmas and New Year seasons which was beyond human comprehension.”
He said a truck had hit an okada rider on the Accra-Nsawam highway as a result of overspeeding on New Year’s Day.
The okada driver who was heading towards the highway from Sapeiman road, unfortunately, collided with the truck on the highway, and as a result of the impact, the ‘okada’ rider was rushed to the nearby hospital for treatment but did not survive.

Christians have been urged to demonstrate a living faith in Jesus Christ by allowing their confession of Him as Lord and Saviour to reflect in their daily lives.
According to the Kaneshie District Pastor of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, Ghana (EPCG), Rev. Dzidzor Nathaniel Affram, a genuine Christian’s confession should go beyond words and be demonstrated through obedience to God, love for others and service to the Church.
He made the call at the 40th anniversary remembrance service for the late Wesley Kwasi Kwadzo at the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, Ghana, Maranatha Congregation at Awudome Avenui in the Volta Region.
Speaking on the theme, “The Church Built on a Living Confession,” Rev. Affram said life would continually present challenges capable of testing Christians’ faith, making it necessary for believers to hold firmly to their confession that Jesus Christ is Lord.
He explained that accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour required Christians to live according to His teachings, stressing that their faith must be evident in their conduct.
“A living confession listens to God and not man,” he said, urging Christians to remain obedient to God even when faced with difficulties and pressures.
Rev. Affram further encouraged the congregation to care for vulnerable people and demonstrate concern for others, adding that such acts were practical expressions of Christian faith.
He also urged Christians to identify and use their God-given gifts to build the Church.
He said every member of the Church had a role to play and cautioned Christians against looking down on others because of their status or abilities.
The remembrance service brought together family members, friends, members of the congregation and sympathisers to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the late Wesley Kwasi Kwadzo.
