In a tragic twist of fate, a Ghanaian teacher, Mr. Collins Boateng Osei, has died in a car crash just one day after passionately advocating for stronger action against the rising number of road accidents in the country.
On Saturday, August 2, Mr. Osei took to his Facebook page to express growing concern over what he described as the authorities’ silence and apparent inaction regarding the alarming rate of traffic-related deaths in Ghana.
In his post, he lamented the absence of a comprehensive report detailing the government’s efforts to address the crisis and called for intensified public education and safety campaigns to raise awareness and reduce fatalities.
“By now, there should have been a well-documented report to inform Ghanaians about what has been done so far to curb road accidents,” he wrote. “The campaign must be intensified before more lives are lost.”
