On March 1, 2026, a pedestrian was struck by a vehicle at the Pokuase Interchange, an incident that has raised significant concerns over public safety in the area.
Witnesses reported that the accident happened during nighttime when visibility was severely compromised due to the absence of functioning streetlights. Local residents have expressed their frustration, noting that the lack of adequate lighting has created hazardous conditions for both pedestrians and drivers, particularly after sunset.
One local resident lamented, “A vehicle just hit an auto-sprayer right now. It’s very sad. None of the streetlights is working. Imagine a highway without any streetlights.” This sentiment underscores the urgent need for repairs to the lighting systems to enhance safety.
Community members are calling on the appropriate authorities to take swift action to rectify the lighting issues at the interchange to prevent further accidents and potential fatalities.
