KOD’s Near Death Accident | Was He Drink Driving? Who Really Checks This in Ghana?

Ghanaian radio/TV personality-KOD survived a ‘near death’ accident on Tuesday’s night on the N1 motorway in Accra—following which he was admitted to the 37 Military hospital.

Though no one was killed or really hurt apart from KOD himself, GhanaCelebrities.Com has listened around including to KOD himself as to what happened—and the question some of us are asking is, was he drink driving or what?

According to KOD, he was returning from a relative’s birthday party where obviously alcohol would have been served and knowing KOD, he definitely would have had a glass or a couple—but we cannot say if he was over the limit or not (that is if alcohol was involved).

KOD has explained what happened as follows; while driving on N1 he saw a truck parked in the middle of the road and at that point, he was left with the option of either to try and brake before reaching the truck, run to the other side of the road where there was an incoming car and collide with the car—or the drive off the road into the ditch.

He couldn’t really brake before hitting the parked truck—which begs the question; what was his speed and why couldn’t he really stop—and was drive driving or not?

We are not punching holes into KOD’s accident and we feel sorry for him but who actually checks to ensure accident drivers were not drink driving in Ghana, even if popular people?

When accidents happen in our part of the world, much is not really done to establish the cause—even if people are killed or injured. If this was anywhere in Europe or America, breathalyzer would have been quickly pulled out by the police the moment it became obvious the driver was returning from a party—where he could possible have had some drinks.

A lot of people drink and drive in Ghana—and this is due to the absence of proper monitoring by our law enforcement agencies.

Kids, never drink and drive!
