The Cape Coast Police are holding a 32-year old truck driver for overloading and reckless driving.
His KIA Rhino truck with registration number GR 5672-10 loaded with hardware is said to have veered off the road lane and fallen o its side thus getting damaged beyond repairs at the Pedu traffic light intersection in the Central Regional capital Cape Coast.
The Police blame break failure for the accident but insist John Essien, the driver, will be made to answer for overloading the vehicle.
The incident also destroyed a KIA Sephia taxi with registration number CR 19-10 which was nearby.
Central Regional Commander of the Motor Traffic and Transport Unit (MTTU), Superintendent Paul Adu-Hene said the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA) will be asked to conduct an examination on the vehicle adding the findings will determine their next line of action.
Superintendent Adu-Hene asked drivers plying the Accra-Cape Coast –Takoradi route to respect road traffic rules.
Still in the region, a section of market women from the Kotokoraba Market have complained about insecurity in the market.
The traders cited continuous cases of theft and appealed to the Cape Coast Municipal Assembly to beef-up security around the market.
When contacted, the Kotokoraba Police Commander, ASP Emmanuel Tetteh, confirmed the report, saying the Kotokoraba area and its environs were noted for crime.
He assured measures were being put in place to give the market women and other commuters in the area adequate protection.
