    Alhaji Yussif , am sorry but your comments are idiotic. All drivers must drive with caution and control their vehicles in motion. Arguing that accidents happen and a driver can ran into a cow is very silly. If that is your m ...

    how can a driver hit or rammed into a stationary vehicle,he was probably sleeping on the wheel as he didn,t make any attempt of overtaking,anyway he must be blamed for the accident[the driver].

  • Ama 6 years ago

    In as much as the driver is to be blamed for poor visibility.

    1. Was it necessary for the team to get back to Kumasi late after the match. Could they not have looked for a budget hotel in Tema to lodge for one night and ...

    From all the versions I've heard, I think the Truck didn't have lights or reflectors are the rare, which is illegal but common in GH

  • Kwappiah 6 years ago

    The truck had a problem running and the POLICE should 've been around to direct traffic. Police shd stop the blame game.

  • Truth 6 years ago

    He does. A chain smoker and akpeteshie drunkard. You can tell from his looks.
    He should not be driving. Kotoko's management should have known better.

    Ken, looks could be deceptive. You make your first statement as if you have indisputable knowledge that the driver is a drunkard. Don't soil others reputation by such inferences

    Drivers for your own lives and the live of other get your eyes tested. If you have poor eyesight use glasses

  • UNKNOWN 6 years ago

    this isnt about eye test....at that time of the night who would have seen that coming...the problem is we should start towing all broken down truck on our roads....

  • Koo 6 years ago

    Is unfortunate for a police commander to come out with his judgement without doing his investigations very well.whats the speed limit on that road,are these two moving cars were on the constant speed limit ?

  • GOOD ONE THERE 6 years ago

    This Ghana Police should let as have our peace of mind, any time we ask of what is the cause you will say is too early you are investigating, Have you finish with your investigations? or this one is different.

  • Revelation + Rationality= Truth 6 years ago

    Driver is in critical condition, facts have not been gathered from all parties including driver who is perhaps fighting for his life.

    On what grounds can the police pass judgement?

  • UNKNOWN 6 years ago

    i agree with you....which driver will see death and go and meet it...the police should ask why the break down truck was still in the middle of the road

  • TRUE PATRIOT 6 years ago

    The police officer is lying. All reports indicate dat de car was stationary. Why grant interview if u do not ve de facts. Shame on u

  • KB 6 years ago

    Most Ghanaian drivers over speed. The speed limit on most of our roads is 80km per hour. It is only the motor way which is 100km/hr.

    The policeman should be called to order. He must hear the side of the driver before issuing such statement. People are traumatized so he must be careful what he says. Kotoko did not want to spend the night in Accra because th ...

    Kotoko is not serious. in the first place, how old is the driver? what is his his visual acuity?
    instead of employing a competent personnel, they risked relying on this old folk, and the result is what they have gotten.
