poor folks but it seems some others went hysterical too and therefore not contributing to get help needed for those that weren't dead yet.

From Januray to August 2011, 1,431 people have died as a result of road accidents. This is an increase from 1,181 deaths registered for the same period in 2010. This is phenomenally painful and shocking.

It is estimated that an average of four people die dialy in Ghana from road traffic accidents. The major causes of road accident accounting for these deaths are over speeding and carelessly reckless driving including overloading, irresponsible driving, wrong over-takings, drink driving and extreme fatique. It is only when Ghanaians- both passengers and drivers change their attitudes toward road usage that we may find a panacea to this menace. A country that fails to take pragmatic steps to curbing situations such as this may only be described as a country that has lost it sense of urgency and needs.
When you have a country where 85 percent of public transport drivers never attended a driving school , the result could not have being different from what transpires on our roads today. Those untrained drivers transfer their bad practises to their apprentices without any sense of responsibility. Consequently, a sustained cycle of reckless and indesciplined drivers are maintained, continually causing death and depleting the human capital of the nation. The country is making strenous efforts towards providing basic needs such as protable drinking water, health facilities, electricity, schools etc to its citizenry, yet 1.6 percent of its Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is lost through road accidents.
Most of the carnage witnessed on the roads in Ghanaian are avoidable. Especially those that are caused by human negligence and irresponsibility as it is the case in almost all the accidents in Ghana. A car that is suppose to carry only fourteen people exceeds that limit, sometimes doubling the number of occupants. Vehicles are loaded to such limit that the drivers are unable to see from their driving mirrors, this obviously has an implication during overtaking and negotiating curves.
I remember the famous Ghanaian saying used by public transport drivers/owner thus ‘’kontem bra ntem’’ literally translated, it means go fast and be back fast. Due to the quest to cash in as much as possible, drivers and vehicle owners see themselves in a race against time. The faster you drive the more passenger you get and the much money you make. This way of thinking is translated into the behavior of the drivers. Many will resort to all kind of things to keep themselves awake and active- you know what I mean. They will go for liguors ‘’tot’’ , occasionally mixing so many things together. The mystery is this! The passengers are clearly aware of all these attitudes, yet some of them encourage and delights the drivers to drive faster because they want to get to their destinations earlier. Others will also forcefully enter the buss or whatever transport it maybe, conscious of the fact that the car is being overloaded. As I said before, the issue of road accident will never change unless there is a concerted effort towards attitudinal change.
The police as partners of crime
As if taking a bribe supersedes the protection of human lives and property. The police, especially those working with the Mottor Traffic and Transport Unit of the Ghana Police Service must get their acts together. It is unpardonable for any police officer to take a bribe from a driver whose license is either expired or has not got one. At all times, the security and protection of the general public must always be the guiding and underlining principle of the police. This is in most cases on our roads the opposite. For the sake of raking in the dough, these police officers conspicously ignore what is unacceptable and lawless. They sell their professionalism for the death of ordinary Ghanaians.
Institutional enforcement
The National Road Safety Commission, Driver and Vehicle Licensing Athority (DVLA), Mottor Transport and Traffic Unit (MTTU), The Ghana Highway Authority (GHA), The Department of Urban Roads, The Department of Feeder Roads etc. Beautiful names, wonderful mission statements and better strategies on paper. But these insitution have not lived up to the expectation of Ghanaians.

Found an article about this accident:

Melisa Is Dead
Source: Daily Guide | Fri, 28 Jan 2011

Information reaching DAILY GUIDE indicates that Melisah Donkoh, one of the victims of the January 13 accident that claimed three lives in Takoradi, has passed away, bringing the number of deaths in the accident to four.

Melisah, who was seriously injured and was flown to the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital for further treatment after a brief admission at the Effia-Nkwanta Regional Hospital in Sekondi, passed away in the early hours of yesterday.

Pius Donkoh, 7 and Awurukua Smith, 11, both of Agyiba International School in Takoradi and Perpetual Christian Oppong, in her early 50s, were also crushed to death in the accident by an articulated truck with registration number AS 1140 N.

Melisah, 13, and two of her siblings, Pius Donkoh and Ann-Marie Donkoh, all pupils of the same school, were hit by the articulated truck at a zebra crossing on the Kwesimintsim-Takoradi highway.

Pius and Ewurakua Smith, who were also hit by the vehicle, died on the spot, while Ann-Marie and Melisah sustained injuries.

The injured persons were initially sent to the Effia-Nkwanta Hospital for treatment.

Ann-Marie was treated and discharged but, Melisah, whose condition was critical, was flown to the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital in Accra where she died yesterday as confirmed by Ernestina Woolley, grandmother of the deceased.

The little girl's family would hold a meeting today to decide on the date for her burial. Awurakua and Pius were buried on Tuesday, January 18 and Wednesday, January 19 respectively.

Mohammed Abass, 31, who was driving the articulated truck that allegedly hit and killed the school kids and the elderly woman, was put before court on Monday January 17, 2011 on provisional charges of careless and inconsiderate driving, as well as negligently causing harm.

His plea was not taken and his prosecutor, Albert Deletsa, pleaded with the court to remand the accused in police custody to assist in investigations.

The court, presided over by Charles Nimako, therefore remanded the accused to re-appear in court on February 2, 2011.

How it went:

Four pupils of the Agyiba International School and one woman were killed when an articulated truck ran over them at a zebra crossing at Kwesimintsim.

The driver of the truck, with registration number AS 1140 N and the inscription “Forever Young” at the back, bolted after escaping unhurt.

According to the traffic warden on duty at the time of the accident, Mr Mawuli Ahiakpo, about 3:30 p.m. the children got to the zebra crossing and signalled him to help them cross the road.

He said there was no traffic from the Kwesimintsim end of the road towards Takoradi and so after he had stopped a Honda Accord car, with registration number VR 1749-09, moving from the Takoradi end to stop, he signalled the children and the woman to cross.

According to the traffic warden, all of a sudden the articulated truck moving at top speed appeared from the Takoradi end.

It was unable to control the speed and ran over the children and the woman who had almost finished crossing the road, killing some of them on the spot.

The truck, he said, climbed the pavement and landed on the other side of the road, while the Honda saloon car also rolled to the side of the road.

Mr Ahiakpo said the truck rammed into the rear of the saloon car and landed on the children on the ground.

He said at the time of the accident, seven children and a woman were crossing the road.
