On Sunday, March 1, 2026, a serious incident occurred at the Pokuase Interchange when a pedestrian was struck by a vehicle. The accident took place near the Eco block, and eyewitness reports indicate that the lack of functioning streetlights contributed to the dangerous conditions.
Local residents expressed their concerns about the inadequate lighting at the interchange, which they say has made it increasingly hazardous for pedestrians attempting to navigate the busy road. The failure of streetlights has severely impacted visibility, particularly at night, leading to a heightened risk of accidents.
“It’s heartbreaking to see such incidents happen. None of the streetlights are operational, making it perilous for anyone trying to cross,” lamented a local resident. Calls for immediate action have been made to local authorities to address the lighting issues and improve safety measures at this critical junction.
