The Central Region recorded eight cases
of road traffic accidents that left three persons dead and 16
others with various degrees of injuries during the Easter period. 
Chief Superintendent Felix Kwasi Cosmos, the Regional MTTU
Commander, who told the Ghana News Agency, stated that the Cape
Coast Metro recorded four accidents with Assin Fosu, Winneba,
Kasoa and Elmina recording a case each.
Superintendent Cosmos said in all 14 vehicles were involved,
five of which were commercial with eight being private, and the
other, a motor bike.
He said the figure was lower than last year?s and attributed
it to the Police Education programme and the enforcement of the
Road Traffic Regulation Act and the cooperation of the public.
The Police Administration and the Ghana Road Safety
Commission organised a joint operation to educate drivers and
passengers on the need to ensure an accident-free Easter.
He, however, expressed worry over the loss of lives through
motor accidents, saying that the Police would not relent but
intensify operations.
“We are not going to limit our education and sensitization to
only occasions …if we are not careful, we will be taken by
events so we would sustain it,” he stated.
