Traffic Snarl on Accra-Kumasi Highway as Low-Bed Truck Breaks Down

-





DUAMPOMPOM, GHANA—Commuters on the bustling Accra-Kumasi highway faced significant delays today after a low-bed truck carrying a large excavator broke down at Duampompom, near the Anum Apapam junction. The incident, which occurred early this morning, caused a massive traffic jam, stretching for several kilometers in both directions.

According to eyewitnesses, the truck suffered a mechanical failure, rendering it immobile and blocking a significant portion of the road. With the large excavator on board, the vehicle created a major obstacle, making it difficult for other motorists to navigate the already busy highway.

Police and officials from the Ghana Highway Authority were quickly dispatched to the scene to manage the traffic flow and work on removing the broken-down vehicle. They have been directing traffic and are attempting to clear the road to restore normal traffic flow. However, the sheer size and weight of the truck and its cargo have made the operation challenging.

Motorists are advised to exercise patience and, if possible, seek alternative routes. The incident highlights the recurring issue of breakdowns by heavy-duty vehicles on Ghana's major highways, which often lead to similar disruptions.

NEW YORK — Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro has appeared before a United States federal court following his recent arrest and extradition, according to reports from international media outlets. Maduro was transported under heavy security to a federal courthouse in New York for an initial court appearance. The development marks a rare and significant moment in international criminal proceedings involving a sitting head of state. Background to the Case U.S. prosecutors accuse Maduro of involvement in drug trafficking and related criminal conspiracies.
