A policeman whose name has been given as Owusu in a private car chasing the driver of an alleged unlicensed vehicle has caused an accident at Latter Rain on the Ntankoful-Anaji Highway in the Western Region.

The vehicle of the policeman reportedly lost control in the process and smashed a Tipper truck.
