President Kufuor in an accident
Accra, Nov. 14, Ghanadot - It is what
some are calling a narrow miss for the president as he
escaped unhurt when his car was hit this morning by another
while he was on his way to his office.
The accident happened on the airport road, between the Accra
International Airport junction and the 37 Military Hospital.
The President was immediately rushed to the hospital. He has
later been reported unhurt and is back at his desk in the
castle, a source told Ghanadot.
Some are beginning to wonder whether the accident was an
assassination attempt. They say it is very rare for a
presidential motorcade to be struck in the manner the
accident happened.
The suspect, the driver of the other car, is under arrest
and has been detained for questioning.
Eye witnesses say the suspect was driving a Mercedes,
described as a
blue black Mercedes benz elegance saloon car,
which came from the opposite direction to ram the
president’s vehicle on the side. The President’s car rolled
over several times before coming to a stop.
The President was helped out of his rammed car by witnesses
on the scene.
According to Presidential Press Secretary Andrew Awuni, it
is not clear yet as to why the accident happened in the
manner it did.
“It's a bit strange for this car to run into his car
directly the way it did," the Press Secretary said.
He also reported to the press that some members of the
president’s entourage have been seriously hurt are receiving
medical attention at the 37 Military Hospital.
The nation is shocked with disbelief about the manner the
accident happened. The Information Minister Oboshie
Sai-Cofie has informed the press that all is well with the
President and that investigations are underway to understand
fully what happened.
