Accident on the Kwahu scarp


By Edmund Smith-Asante
A near fatal accident occurred on the bridge to the Obomeng town on Saturday at about 7 p.m. on a rainy night, causing a hold up in traffic. 

According to eyewitness accounts, the accident occurred when the driver of the blue Nissan March taxi, who was new to the route, tried to prevent the car from entering the ditch before the bridge.

This attempt by the driver rather resulted in the right side of the car ramming heavily into the concrete wall at the side of the bridge, thereby trapping the occupant of the front seat. 

All the four occupants of the vehicle were injured, with the face of one of the two lady passengers oozing with blood.

The Daily Graphic team which arrived on the scene, alerted the Nkawkaw Divisional Police Commander, Chief Superintendent James Sarfo Peprah, of the accident, and he subsequently dispatched some policemen to the scene.

There was no ambulance on hand to take the injured to the hospital, so a taxi driver volunteered to take them to the Nkawkaw Holy family hospital for treatment.

So although we were all very tired we just decided to take advantage of the opportunity to savour German cinema. At the end of the day we were not disappointed, although we nearly got bored with the many adverts that preceded the film titled “The Informant”. The interior and exterior of the theatre hall were all nice but there were not many patrons to watch the movie, although it was a new one, which made me realise it was not only in Ghana that the appetite for movies had gone down. Please do not ask me for the cast of the film because I am not very good at that since I am not really a movie person although I enjoy good movies and can easily tell a good one from a bad one. Suffice me though, to say that the major star in the movie titled “The Informant” is the same person that starred in the
