Elderly Driver Cries Like A Baby After Nigerian-Registered Trailer Rams Into His Voxy At Achimota Overhead

An elderly man has been left visibly distressed and in tears after his 2026-registered Toyota Voxy was allegedly struck by a Nigerian-registered trailer truck near the Achimota Overhead, close to the Neoplan Station.

According to the account, the collision occurred as traffic moved through the busy junction, an area already known for its heavy congestion and constant flow of both commercial and private vehicles.

The impact reportedly left the Voxy significantly damaged, a painful blow for the elderly owner given how new the vehicle’s registration appeared to be.

Footage from the scene captures the emotional toll on the man, who appeared overwhelmed as he processed the damage to his vehicle in the immediate aftermath of the crash.

His distress has struck a chord with many who came across the video online, with several commenters expressing sympathy over the unexpected financial and emotional burden such an accident brings, particularly for a vehicle so recently acquired.

The involvement of a foreign-registered trailer in the collision has also drawn attention, with some online raising broader questions about the standard of driving and vehicle handling among large trucks operating across Ghana’s road network, regardless of country of registration.

We’re yet to confirm what led to the collision, whether it involved a lapse in judgment, mechanical issues with the trailer, or simple road congestion gone wrong, and whether the matter has since been reported to the police for assessment and possible compensation for the damage sustained.
