Ghana police should stop this nonsense, putting undue pleasure on a sick child is too disgraceful. Instead of finding the true cause of the accident wasting resources of the magnitude to intimidate a child. I say with authority that, it was a mechanical or electrical failure. The police should inspect the cars very well before making any determination about the accident. The child made a mistake by driven, and we all know how agonizing and the pain the child is going through. Will we be happy if he is dead, who among you has not done anything stupid in his/her life. Older men/women with driven licenses cause more accidents, dead and destruction than kids, where are their pictures, and why are they not crucified. Is very sad children lost their lives for single mistake by another child, isn't it time we parents sit down and reflect on the mistakes we made, the corrupt mind set in society that created this kind of negative influence on our children. The child didn't create the environment for corruption in our society that allow kids to drive and for the police to be taken GHS2.00 from commuters, we the parents and elders did. Now we are happy crucifying a child for following the path we created for him. Ghanaians should be ashamed. May the two sweet innocent souls rest in peace. For Ghana failed you in life and in death. Every Ghanaian will pay in one way or another the corrupt dismantling of the societal norms.

I think the child is more intelligent than most of you stupid fools on this forum, because he was not on suicide run. Do Ghanaians for once think why the child didn't make any effort to slow down? knowing fully well at that speed he might end up dead himself. Is Because he couldn't control the car, the speed was lock on. How many souls were lost and continue losing because of un-professional negligence by matured licensed drivers. How many souls were lost this week on our roads. AS a Father I agonize for both the dead, and also pray for the recovery of the those in hospitals. Let have mercy in our heart for our child make a dreadful mistake, let's not out of anger sacrifice an innocent child.

I enjoyed reading your contribution to the issue and I wish to understand it much better as it involved a juvenile and loss of irreplaceable lives.

May the souls of the departed rest in perfect peace and may the Almighty Nature touch the hearts of all the law enforcement officers involved in handling case to address it as it should be for the collective good of our society.

Now, please, kindly assist me with answers to these questions so I could understand your contribution to the issue much better.

1. What specific solution do you suggest in your contribution as an alternative to addressing the issue? On what authority do you say it was a mechanical problem that caused the accident?

2. How did you arrived at this causality without getting in touched the cars involved or you are part of the investigative team which diagnosed the cause of the accident?

3. What would be short-term and long-term implications of the police stopping the case for the families involved and similar potential cases in the future?

Sorry if my questions are too many, please. I want to learn from your contribution, hence the questions. Thank you for your kind attention.

This spoiled brat did not lose control of the vehicle. He deliberately drove straight into the back of the parked Acura, because this imbecile was speeding so much that he just couldn't react in a timely manner when he got to the T. Junction. This is vehicular HOMICIDE, USING A DEADLY WEAPON. HE should be sentenced as a.minor first, and then transferred to an ADULT PRISON AT NSAWAM when he turns 18 years old. The parents must also serve a few years for aiding and betting. THE LAW MUST WORK. ARROGANT, UGLY AND SELFISH FAKE PROPHET SALIFU AMOAKO garden boy and truck pusher must be brought to his level. If you do the crime, you must do the time. PERIOD. Yabr3 mmo nne nkwaseasem nne amemasour. Gyimifuor Salifu.

I can only imagine the kind of slaps I will get from dad for stealing his car and much more crashing it and the worst of it killing two human beings. He will gladly hand me over to the police.
But my concern here is whether the laws of Ghana will treat this boy as an adult because he's definitely a minor.

I heard the father made a comment that the son did not carry a gun to kill but an accident. This is a reckless statement by all standards at a time when the family is in deep sorrow.
This recklessness could have been averted with proper parental controls especially driving as a minor. From the look of things he has been driving even B4 the age sixteen and the parent felt it was an achievement having their young son drive so they turned deaf ears. Look at the calamity?. The rich and affluent in society must learn to control their underage kids. Not that you have a lot of cars so you can show off by allowing your unlicensed kids to be murderers on our roads

Legally this 16 year old can only be charged for the offence committed not the parents or the sales girl unless the police want to bring evidence to show that the parents are accountable and accomplish in the offence. If not the offence would be 1.Theft of a motor vehicle, 2. joy riding, 3.driving without licence, 4.driving while uninsured 5.driving while under age, 6.causing harm, man slaughter and murder. Possibly sentencing due to his age Juvenile sentencing.

Interestingly while the loss of the lives of the two young angels is tragic, that's not the source of the public outcry.

People are mad because the offender/perpetrator seems to come from an affluent home,. He is being called kwasea dadaba etc. So would the deaths be ok of his parents were pushing teucks at the market?

Trotro, VIP, Touota hiace drivers, slaughter inmocent victims with their rexkless driving all yhe time and people don't react/respond like this. This is evidence that the general Ghanaian public, hates afflient Ghanaians.

The offensing driver was no more reckless than mostnof these commercial driving twerps yet look at the disparity in public outcry

The sixteen year old boy did not lose control of the Jaguar he was driving. He slammed the vehicle into the other vehicles. Did you watch the video? You can't tell me that the speed at which he was driving he could stop at a safe distance behind the other vehicles. It could even be that it is not an accident and that it was intentional. Did the parent need to spill blood for a spiritual purpose? The accident may be planned, how come he is not driving any ordinary vehicle that could not sustain the crush and kill him in addition to the others that died. He was well protected, even the vehicle he was driving tells you he knows if anything happens he will be out of harms way. The attitude of the boys father also suggests that this might be a sacrifice rather than an accident.

That is why he was pleading with God in Psalm 51not to take the H.spirit.from him. The pastoral work is a serious n dangerous profession, So those pastors who r in ministry n hv become canal n talk n act anyhow, u hv a price to pay.Bishop, u remember u told ur young pastor friend in Florida that his beautiful wife was a witch. With that stuck in his mind n the ànger of her leaving him forced him to brutally kill his wife. God ís not mocked. I feel sad for u but desist from talking on social media n church else u will damage ur case. Just keep praying n ask God to forgive u where u hv failed as a parent.
