Mr. Evans Lartey, driver of the taxi involved in the accident told the Ghana News Agency at the scene that, the van was negotiating to park at the bus stop but suddenly bumped into his taxi.
He explained that while he were trying to swerve from the impact, he drifted from his lane into the trailer’s lane.
He said the trailer driver who wanted to also swerve the taxi ended up bumping into the private Hyundai car with three children seating at the back seat.
According to the Taxi Driver, there was however no casualty, but the vehicles were dented. The crash caused some damage and resulted in heavy traffic congestion.
Mr. Victor Osom, an eyewitness said such accidents were becoming regular in the area and attributed the cause of the accident to irresponsible parking of some taxi drivers who had converted the Community Eight Bus Stop into a taxi station.

The GNA observed that a Police team was at the scene to investigate the accident, and to help control the traffic.
