Actor and comedian Funny Face has expressed gratitude to God that none of the victims of the recent road accident he was involved in lost their lives.
According to the actor, he would have been unable to live with himself if any of the individuals lost their lives as a result of his actions.
Speaking in an interview with Kofi TV, a tearful Funny Face said he met the father of the two young children who were hit by his car alongside their grandmother in court.
The actor said he immediately broke down in tears upon realising he had endangered the lives of someone else's children.
He recalled attempting to avoid a collision with a motorcyclist who suddenly crossed his path, and inadvertently hitting five people in the process.
Funny Face noted that despite his desire to explain himself, he feels speechless in the face of the consequences of his actions, explaining that at the time of the incident, he attempted to walk to the other side of the road and face the same fate as the victims as fears of killing someone overwhelmed him.
The comedian said he has learnt his lessons and takes full responsibility for his actions. He stated that he would visit all the victims.
Additionally, Funny Face said he is bearing the cost of their medicals and urged the general public to support him.
The comedian who broke down in tears said he understands if people might no longer be on his side and pleaded for the public’s forgiveness.
On the evening of Sunday, March 24, Funny Face was involved in an accident at Kakraba, Kasoa in the Central Region.
He hit five people with his car, including a grandmother a two children. One of the victims, at the time, fell into a coma while the others received treatment at the Winneba Trauma Centre.
