A disturbing video showing a long-articulated truck transporting a shipping container while travelling on severely damaged and worn-out tyres has sparked outrage on social media, with many Ghanaians questioning the absence of law enforcement on the country's roads.
In a video sighted by GhanaWeb on July 28, 2026, the truck is seen moving along a highway despite several of its tyres appearing completely worn out and deflated, raising serious concerns about the safety of the driver and other road users.
The footage has triggered widespread criticism online, with many users wondering why the vehicle was allowed to continue its journey without being stopped by the police or other road safety authorities.
Several commenters described the situation as a disaster waiting to happen, arguing that such vehicles pose a significant threat to motorists and pedestrians alike.
