A police bus driver was arrested for allegedly causing the death of a motorcyclist at Abeka in Accra during the early hours of Wednesday, October 30, 2024.

Reports indicate that the driver attempted to evade traffic by using the opposite lane, leading to a fatal collision with the motorcyclist.

The accident exacerbated an existing traffic jam that extended from Tesano through the Achimota overhead toward Nsawam.

A fuel attendant at a nearby Shell station, Felix Aryeetey, shared his account of the incident with Citi News, stating that the motorcyclist died at the scene.

“They are having a passing out ceremony at the police depot and so there has been traffic and the police have taken the other lane of the road and when they are coming, they come on top speed and I heard a crash. A police bus driver knocked down a motorbike rider and the rider died on the spot.”
