The Police has identified three accident-prone areas on the Kasoa-Winneba-Mankessim trunk road. The new Winneba District Police Commander, Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Jonathan Quaye, identified the areas as a point near Gomoa Okyereko junction, Gomoa Otsedze near Apam Junction and a spot close to the Christ Asafo farm near Gomoa Mpota. He said a recent accident at the spot near Gomoa Okyereko junction claimed 40 lives and asked drivers to extra careful at such areas. ASP Quaye was speaking to the Ghana News Agency at Winneba at the weekend when he visited the office as part of his familiarization tour of some departments at Winneba. The Police Commander said the Motor Traffic and Transport Unit (MTTU) would extend their patrols to the areas to help prevent accidents there. He said that the accident spot at Okyereko was "very tilted" posing a danger to vehicles with high heavy loads while the stretches at Gomoa Osedze and the Chirsto Asafo farm was "very smooth and straight-forward", which encouraged speeding and overtaking. ASP Quaye said drivers would be educated on the dangers at those points to be extra careful. The Police Commander who was accompanied by Chief Inspector Williams Jabialu, Sergeant Kwame Nyanteh and Corporal Ernest Agbobeda later visited two radio stations at Winneba. He appealed to journalists at the two stations to be circumspect in their reportage to avoid confusion in the area. They should also avoid sensational news and to always cross check their information with the appropriate quarters to ensure peace in the district.Source: GNA
