“My name is Emmanuel Ajarfor Abugri, editor of ModernGhana.com”.
“I woke up to media calls this morning. Though l refused to speak, some colleague journalists managed to convince me to give an account as an eyewitness. On that basis I gave my account after I realised the news had gone viral. However, i want to correct some comments the media twisted as follows:”
- My car was right behind Kuami Eugene’s car when the accident happened late night on Sunday at CP, close to DSTV after Achimota Overhead towards Dzorwulu traffic Light at about 11pm.
- His car crashed the back of a tipper truck which was in motion- moving without a tail light and at a slow pace on the N1 highway that has no street lights making visibility difficult and driving dangerous. Its wouldve been fatal if Kuami Eugene was overspeeding.
- Quickly I parked my car and rushed to rescue them. That was when I realised it was Kuami Eugene with another guy in the front passenger seat. I helped got them out of the mangled car.
- I called a friend at the Achimota Police Station which was closer to the scene. A team came and towed the mangled vehicle. I also handed the tipper truck driver and his guys over to the police.
- Some motorists who stopped volunteered to rush Kuami Eugene and his guy to the hospital whiles i stayed behind for the police to arrive so i could give my account and also hand over the tripper truck driver to them.
- I followed up to UGMC hospital with an MTTU officer. He took their details together with mine and left. I stayed for over an hour to be sure he was responding to treatment before I left almost 3am.
