It burst a tire, swerved across the road’s median several times, collided with a tipper truck on the Kasoa-bound side of the road, and then came to rest in a ditch alongside the highway.
The commercial vehicle’s driver described the incident to JoyNews, saying, “I was behind the tipper truck coming from the Tetteh-Quarshie Interchange. I unexpectedly noticed the BMW veering into the middle of the road.
“Because of the dust, I couldn’t see anything so I tried to veer to the other side. All of a sudden, I realized the tipper truck pushing my car from the back into the gutter in the middle of the road.”
