A Mercedes Benz cargo truck with a questionable registration number broke down on the Asuoyeboah- Kwadaso highway last Sunday.
The truck with registration number 4523 R which was fully loaded is right in the middle of the road, posing great danger to the travelling public.
While the driver found it convenient to offload the goods in the truck to prevent them from getting bad, he refused to push the truck, which is now empty, to a safer place.
The driver has also refused to mount any signal to warn Sunyani-bound vehicles from Kumasi of the danger ahead, and against road safety regulations,and has fixed a warning triangle right at the back of the truck.
Ironically, authorities from the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly (KMA) who are quick to tow vehicles that they deem to have been parked at wrong places and charge towing fees in addition to fines for committing road safety regulations, have looked on unconcerned as this truck has remained in the middle of the road for four consecutive days.
The Police have also ignored the danger that this truck poses to the travelling public, as well as the inconvenience it is causing commuters and motorists with regard to unnecessary traffic congestion.
Perhaps both the KMA and the Police are eagerly waiting for a fatal accident to occur at the scene before they rush, as usual, to tow the truck from Asuoyeboah, which is on the busy Kumasi- Sunyani road, as has been the practice.
