Faulty MAN diesel truck causes multiple accidents on Amasaman–Nsawam road

A faulty MAN diesel truck with registration number GW 3136-14 caused multiple accidents involving about three vehicles on the Amasaman–Nsawam road. The truck, transporting sugar from Accra to Kumasi, experienced brake failure while travelling along the highway. The driver, Abdul Malik, reported that he was unable to stop the vehicle after the brakes failed, resulting in collisions with a Rhino vehicle and other private cars.

Additionally, several faulty vehicles were observed parked along the road without adequate warning signs, posing a serious danger to motorists. Residents have called on the Motor Traffic and Transport Department (MTTD) and the National Road Safety Authority (NRSA) to intensify checks on faulty and unroadworthy vehicles, urging authorities to remove mechanically faulty vehicles from major roads and ensure regular maintenance of commercial vehicles to prevent avoidable accidents.
