A tricycle rider sustained injuries after a weak tree in the Central Business District of Kumasi fell on his tricycle during the busy hours of Wednesday morning.
The injured rider, yet to be identified, is believed to be in his early thirties.
According to eyewitnesses, the tree, which had been observed as weak for weeks, fell on a van with parts of its branches falling on the tricycle.
The tricycle was negotiating a curve at the time of the incident.
A part of the tree’s stem fell on the windscreen of the tricycle, causing injury to the rider.
Eyewitnesses told Luv News that since the onset of the rains, the tree had been leaning to one side of the road, showing signs of danger.
