Residents on the Tema Motorway Rush for Alcoholic Drinks Following Crash of a Truck Loaded With Beer

• Some residents and road users along the Accra-Tema Motorway enjoyed alcoholic drinks without paying for them by the roadside
• A truck carrying products for Guinness Ghana Breweries was involved in an accident with an aboboya, causing the crate of drinks to fall off
• Social media users who watched the video thronged the comment section to share their varied thoughts on the footage

Some residents along the Accra-Tema motorway and other road users scrambled for alcoholic drinks from a truck after the vehicle was involved in an accident.

The truck, fully loaded with products of Guinness Ghana Breweries, fell on the side of the road and got many people rushing to enjoy the drink.

In a video on X, the residents and some road users, mainly young men, were caught on camera picking, opening and enjoying the alcoholic drinks.

The young men took the alcohol joyfully and said that most of the drinks already seemed chilled.

The driver’s mate also took a bottle of an alcoholic drink and enjoyed it. He hurt his leg and used some to wash the blood.

The driver, who was not hurt from the accident, later managed to enter the car so he could pick up his bag and phone from the car.

The driver’s mate also entered the car through the only accessible door and picked up his items. They intended to call their bosses to inform them of the accident and then figure out their next action.
