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.
With no security or emergency personnel immediately available to direct traffic, some travellers were forced to step out of their vehicles to help manage the situation.
Frustrated commuters called for a quicker response from traffic management and emergency services to prevent similar disruptions, especially along such a busy N1 highway corridor.
Some security personnel using the road eventually joined efforts to ease the congestion.
The vehicle was later cleared, allowing traffic to gradually flow and reducing the heavy buildup.
