“Just about 300 meters from the toll both and there was this young man on a motorbike. Apparently he was on his way heading to Accra and then he fell from the motorbike and there was this big truck coming behind him. Unfortunately the truck could not stop and just passed over the guy,” he said
“The guy is dead now. His head is crushed, his limbs are totally broken. It is a very gory scene here. Very very sad,” he added.
This is the second accident to be reported on the Tema Motorway on Christmas day after two people were killed and 13 others were left in critical condition after the bus they were travelling in veered off the road.
