Drugs costing about 1,000 Ghana cedis are still under River Ochi at Breman Asikuma when a BMW saloon car with registration No. AS 7353 P carrying the items plunged into the river on Wednesday.
Chief Inspector Gershon Awuyeeh of the Asikuma Police told the GNA that the driver of the car belonging to an Accra Pharmacy Company was on its ways to supply drugs to some chemical shops in the Asikuma-Odoben-Brakwa District when the incident happened.
He said the driver, Godwin Darko and Mr. Charles Huno, a store assistant, who were on the vehicle, got out of the car before it submerged.
The driver was avoiding some school children when it veered off the road and plunged into the river that had over flooded its banks.
Some scrap workers near the spot rescued them, sent them to the police station and later to Our Lady of Grace Hospital where they were treated and discharged for minor injuries.
