A major gridlock developed on the Cape Coast–Winneba highway on Saturday morning after a vehicle loaded with soft drinks was involved in an accident and blocked a section of the road.
The blockage left hundreds of travellers stranded for hours as traffic built up along both sides of the stretch.
There were virtually no security or emergency personnel at the scene to direct traffic, forcing some travellers to step out of their vehicles to help manage the situation.
Commuters expressed frustration over the delays and called for a quicker response from traffic management and emergency services to avoid similar occurrences, especially on such a busy N1 highway corridor.
Some security personnel using the road joined to ease the congestion.
The vehicle was later cleared to ease the heavy congestion.
