“All approaching motorists from Accra and Kumasi are to exercise patience, and adhere to traffic directions from traffic Police Officers at the scene of the incident,”
Personnel of the Accident Prevention Squad (APS) of the Motor Transport and Traffic Directorate (MTTD) in Kyebi in the Eastern Region are frantically working to ensure that the Osino to Nsutam stretch of the Accra-Kumasi highway is free to traffic.
This is because a fuel tanker caught fire Monday afternoon at Nsutam near Paradise Rest Stop.
