Okada rider battling for his life after colliding with taxi

A commercial motor rider, identified simply as Nana Yaw,

is battling for his life at the Nsawam Government Hospital

after colliding with a taxi at Maame Dede junction

on the Naswam-Adeiso stretch.

The rider, believed to be in his mid-twenties, is said to have

made an unusual turn upon getting to an intersection of the road,

oblivious of the incoming speeding Hyundai Matiz taxi.

The taxi driver narrated to Adom News’ Asante Krobea that

the okada rider stopped abruptly, as he was having a conversation

with someone at the station while making a U-turn.

The driver, transporting four passengers, added that he made

attempts to swerve the motor, but all efforts to save the rider proved futile.

The ‘okada’ rider rammed into the front passenger side of the

taxi with registration number GG 2512-18, dislodging his rim

and other parts of the motorbike in the process.

scene and is yet to establish the cause of the crash. Both car

and motorbike have been towed to the

Adeiso Police station whilst investigations continue.
