A tragic incident has been reported on the ongoing Takoradi to Cape Coast road expansion project after a contractor was allegedly knocked down by one of the heavy-duty machines at the site.
According to a report obtained by Hellovybes from Taadi-based blogger Baba Adam, the incident happened on Thursday morning near the Sofokrom junction area in Takoradi, where President John Mahama’s Big Push project began.
The victim, believed to be part of the construction team working on the project, was struck during active operations involving road construction equipment.
Eyewitness accounts suggest that the machine involved was in motion at the time of the accident, though the exact circumstances leading to the incident remain unclear.
Emergency responders were reportedly called to the scene, and the victim was rushed for medical attention.
However, official confirmation on the individual’s condition has not yet been released.
The Takoradi to Cape Coast road project is a major infrastructure development aimed at improving transportation and boosting economic activities between the Western and Central regions.
Incidents like this have raised renewed concerns about safety measures and protocols on construction sites.
Authorities are expected to launch an investigation to determine the cause of the accident and assess whether proper safety guidelines were followed.
Further updates are anticipated as more details emerge.
