“I live at Adjei Kojo but was in Nanakrom to repair my excavator when the rain started around 5:30pm.
“There is a bridge in the neighbourhood which overflowed into the main road making it difficult for pedestrians to cross to the other side of the road. So I decided in my own small way to use the excavator to transport them to a safe place,” he narrated.
