Tragedy struck in the Kassena-Nankana Municipality when two motorcyclists lost their lives after falling from the Tono Dam embankment.
The accident occurred when the riders, while navigating the embankment, lost control of their motorcycle and plunged off the edge. Both individuals were pronounced dead at the scene.
The Ghana Police Service has launched an investigation to uncover the exact cause of the crash. Meanwhile, authorities have advised residents to exercise caution when using the dam’s pathways, especially during unfavorable weather conditions, which can make the terrain slippery and dangerous.
The Tono Dam, a crucial infrastructure for irrigation and water supply, remains an essential resource for the local population. However, concerns have been raised about safety measures in the area, particularly for pedestrians and motorcyclists.
Some community members believe this incident underscores the urgent need for enhanced safety regulations to prevent similar accidents in the future.
