Accra-Tema Motorway Gridlock: Tipper Truck Causes Massive Traffic Jam

Accra-Tema Motorway Gridlock: Tipper Truck Overturns, Causing Hours of Delays A major traffic jam has brought the Accra-Tema motorway to a standstill this morning. The incident, which occurred between the 18 Junction and the 1st Signboard, is due to an overturned tipper truck carrying sand and stones. The truck is blocking a lane, causing a significant backlog of vehicles. "Vehicles have been at a standstill for over an hour," reported one eyewitness, who filmed the event. "There's no police presence yet to manage the situation, which is making things even worse." The video footage shows a long line of cars, trucks, and buses, completely at a standstill. The lack of police presence is a cause for concern, as the situation could escalate further if not managed effectively. Motorists are advised to use alternative routes to avoid the heavy congestion. Authorities are yet to release a statement on the incident or the expected time of clearance. Drivers are urged to exercise patience and caution on the roads. The Accra-Tema motorway, a major artery connecting Accra and Tema, experiences regular traffic congestion. However, this incident highlights the need for improved traffic management and emergency response systems to mitigate the impact of such disruptions.
