In a shocking turn of events, Ho, the regional capital of the Volta Region, has witnessed yet another catastrophic accident, marking the second of such incident in just three weeks. This latest mishap occurred in the heart of the city this afternoon, sending shockwaves through the community.

The incident unfolded when a lowbed trailer, heavily laden with cargo, experienced a critical brake failure while descending from the treacherous OLA top in Ho. Struggling to maintain control, the out-of-control trailer plowed into a taxi and a tricycle, popularly known as a “Mahama Cando,” at the bustling Civic Centre intersection.

The injured have been promptly transported to the Ho teaching hospital for treatment. The extent of their injuries is yet to be confirmed, and local authorities are urging citizens to stay updated on the situation.
