Three vehicles have been badly damaged after trees fell on them at Darkuman in Accra following hours of heavy rainfall.

The vehicles involved included two commercial cars that were in motion and one private car that was parked.

The drivers of the moving commercial vehicles managed to escape to safety, although their vehicles were damaged.

The parked car, a Toyota with the registration number GN 1262-10, was directly hit and left mangled by the fallen tree.

No casualties were reported after the incident.

However, the parked vehicle suffered significant damage due to the impact of the tree.

Eyewitnesses called for the relevant authorities to inspect and manage the trees in the area, particularly those with weak or exposed roots, to prevent similar incidents in the future.

One person is reported to be in critical condition after a tree fell on an SUV and a motorbike.

The incident happened after Monday morning’s heavy rains at Cantonment, close to the Italian Embassy in Ghana.

The heavy wind caused the tree to uproot, slamming into the front of the Toyota SUV with registration number GE- 685-14 and directly on the motor rider.

Emergency responders from the Ghana National Fire Service swiftly arrived at the scene.

Using chainsaws, they worked to lift the tree on top of the vehicle.

They also cleared the remaining from the road to ensure the free flow of traffic.
