A video has emerged showing the moment a trailer transporting a heavy-duty tractor pulled down electrical wires connected to several utility poles at Sowutuom.
The tractor, which was being transported on the trailer, had a man seated in the driver’s seat, a situation many social media users described as highly dangerous.

Before the wires eventually came down, the tractor became entangled in the cables, with the man on the tractor seen attempting to lift and manoeuvre the wires over the vehicle to allow the trailer to move.
The situation raised safety concerns as commercial vehicles conveying passengers were parked close to the falling cables, while several bystanders also stood nearby.
People were seen running for safety after the incident, with the aftermath showing the loosened cables lying across the middle of the road as residents tried to avoid stepping on them.

Dear @GhPoliceService, I witnessed this at Sowutuom Mambo and called the Sowutuom police but they did not attach any sense of urgency to it.
