Not only are our major roads too narrow. To stop a lot of head on collisions, we need 4 lane highways with 2 going different directions just like the motorway. Our elected officials have been travelling abroad and they've seen major highways and do not propose or bring these ideas to cabinet meetings but we keep on building these roads we call highways with a lot of over taking and speeding on them.

I still cannot fathom the concept of government property being used for private business. The Police should have chartered a private bus for this event but rather used THREE police vehicles in an entourage to make the journey, all at the expense of the tax-payer. I am of the highest suspicion these officers were drunk returning from that festive atmosphere to involve the camry in the accident. Ghana should call for code of ethics at the workplace and address accountability of the usage of government property. This accident could have been avoided with a designated driver on a chartered bus.

You're right. They had no right to used police Vehicle for private purposes. That's Ghana for you. No wonder police lack mobility to respond to crime promptly. Condolences to the families of the deceased officers.

THE WAY SOME POLICE VEHICLES ARE DRIVEN, LEAVES MUCH TO BE DESIRED OF. THEY DRIVE AS IF THE ARE GOING TO WORLD WAR 2, VERY DANGEROUS, DISREGARDING ALL TRAFFIC REGULATIONS. THE IGP SHOULD SIT UP AND ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM, OTHERWISE A LOT MORE POLICEMEN, AND INNOCENT ROAD USERS WILL BE SLAUGHTERED BY THESE DRUNK AND IRRESPONSIBLE POLICE DRIVERS.

It's not wrong to use on. Every vehicles that has wheels should technically be "riding on wheels“ but it becomes a matter of choice or perspective either to use “on” or ”in” when part of the vehicle is enclosed for passengers. The same reason why we use “on board” for airplane rides. Though it can still be described as “in an airplane”...

First of all, RIP to the deceased and a speedy recovery to the injured.This isn't about narrow roads. I use that road almost every weekend and I'm nit surprised this happened. The police convoys drive like lunatics and try to bully or push everyone off the road when as they approach, not even considering if the curbs are safe or not,just because they have sirens on their cars and they're the only people who matter in Ghana.

The police are the worst offenders when it comes to driving skills.They don't even understand road signs and speed limits.That is what JSS education has done to these social misfits and functional illiterates.

Any loss of life is one too many, and may these ones RIP. I also wish the injured a speedy recovery.

I live in Kasoa and have seen and fail to understand why the police and army not only use government vehicles for their private functions but also refuse to obey any traffic regulations. They drive on the pavements and footpaths. They abuse the blue lights. They drive drunk etc etc.

It time the commander of MTTU clamps down on this unscrupulous behaviour by the police.

Oh my country Ghana where institutions set up with tax-payers money to ensure sanity, law and order quickly turn around to pervert their mandate, corrupt it and render every conceivable objective ineffective and self defeating. Can the top heirachy of the police service say that they do not see how police drivers misbehave on the road, misuse the siren and vehicles meant for performing serious national assignments? Does it have to result in deaths before they issue and enforce appropriate in house controls. Give them all the vehicles and gadgets in the world and they will destroy them in the shortest possible time and they will come complaining that they do not have the tools to work with. What sort of people are we?

Sam I totally agree with u. The police are the worse reckless drivers in town. I was crossing one day whn the traffic light was red, all of a sudden a police car just bypassed the others whiles I was crossing, so u can see the mess the stupid driver would have caused. Even whn the road I narrow they try to bully people to make their way thru whn they are not on any relevant assignment. This should serve as a lesson to the. May the dead rest in peace.

The police are so notorious in the act of careless driving. They are so lawless on the road, and drive with no regards for other road users.
