A speeding car crashed into two power poles around lunchtime and left parts of Aburaso without electricity. The vehicle with registration AS 4938-16 lost control as it raced down a steep hill. The driver could not stop the car and it smashed straight into the poles. People watched as the car barely missed a hair salon where local leader Rita Tieku was getting her hair done. The crash knocked down both poles and cut power to many homes.
Four people jumped out of the damaged car and ran away from the scene. They left the vehicle with the keys still inside. Rita Tieku called the power company workers who came to check the damage. Police officers from Denkyemuoso station also arrived and had the car towed away. Workers from the Electricity Company of Ghana went with police to report the damaged equipment.
People who saw the crash said they felt lucky no one died. They said the car almost hit the salon where Rita Tieku was sitting. The next day a nurse came to apologize because the car belonged to her. A mason who worked for the nurse had taken the vehicle without asking permission first.
Rita Tieku asked the power company to fix the broken poles quickly. Many residents need their electricity back for daily activities. The crash could have killed people if it had hit the salon. Everyone feels grateful that no one got hurt. The power company needs to restore electricity to all the affected homes.
