Drunk Driver on the Loose: Passengers’ Lives at Risk on Kumasi-Atonsu Route
A disturbing incident occurred when a driver, identified as Akwasi, was found to be completely intoxicated while transporting passengers from Kumasi City Mall to Atonsu.
The passengers were alarmed by his erratic driving, as he swerved the Trotro vehicle from side to side, putting their lives at risk.
When the passengers urged Akwasi to stop the vehicle, he remained indifferent and almost collided with a timber cargo truck.
The situation became even more dire when attempts to pull him out of the vehicle were unsuccessful, and he sped off with the empty bus.
The passengers have called on the Motor Transport and Traffic Directorate (MTTD) to increase surveillance on the roads to apprehend such reckless individuals.
This incident highlights the need for stricter enforcement of traffic laws and regulations to ensure road safety and prevent accidents.
The actions of the drunk driver put the lives of all passengers at risk, and it is only by chance that a major accident did not occur.
The incident serves as a reminder of the dangers of driving under the influence and the importance of taking measures to prevent such incidents.
