The truck, which has been left on the stretch for over a year, has raised safety concerns among local residents. Mr Kwame Nkuah, a resident, pointed out that the spot where the vehicle is parked is hazardous and could lead to a road accident, urging authorities to remove it to prevent any potential mishap. Tricycle riders have also voiced their concerns over the neglect of the truck, urging the police to take action and clear it from the road. Assembly Member for the Sayerano Electoral Area, Mr Samuel Agyekum, has been attempting to locate the truck's owner to remove it, as there is no towing service in the area. He has informed the Asawinso District Police Command, hoping for their assistance in preventing any accidents.",
