A man has died after reportedly jumping off the Dimples overpass at the Achimota Roundabout in Accra on Wednesday.

The victim, dressed in denim trousers and a white long-sleeved shirt, was found lying motionless on the street beneath the overpass.

His face had been covered with leaves by onlookers as a crowd gathered at the scene, awaiting emergency services to retrieve the body.

It remains unclear what may have triggered the incident.

Police have yet to release an official statement but some officers were seen on site interacting with eyewitnesses.
