Strange!! Ambulance Breaks Down At Adenta Building Collapse Scene, Residents Push It To Start As Victims Wait

An already devastating night at Adenta took a more alarming turn when the ambulance dispatched to evacuate victims from a collapsed 15-storey building reportedly failed to start upon arrival, forcing residents to physically push the vehicle just to get it moving.

The building, located at Adenta New Site, collapsed around 11 PM on Wednesday night, trapping multiple occupants under rubble and triggering a desperate rescue operation that drew emergency responders and anxious residents to the scene.

However, what should have been a swift medical evacuation was thrown into chaos when the ambulance that arrived to transport the injured to hospital broke down and refused to start.

Eyewitness accounts and videos that have since circulated on social media show residents and bystanders pushing the ambulance in a frantic attempt to jumpstart the vehicle, all while injured victims awaited urgent medical attention.

The breakdown caused significant delays in the evacuation of casualties, raising serious concerns about the readiness and maintenance of emergency response vehicles deployed to crisis situations across the country.

The collapse, which occurred in the late hours of the night, reportedly left many persons trapped, with fears of fatalities growing as rescue teams worked through the darkness to reach those buried beneath the rubble.

The sight of civilians pushing a government ambulance at an active disaster scene has drawn widespread condemnation from the public, with many questioning the state of Ghana’s emergency response infrastructure and demanding accountability from the relevant authorities.

As of the time of filing this report, the full number of casualties had not been officially confirmed. Rescue operations were still ongoing, and authorities had yet to issue a comprehensive statement on the cause of the building’s collapse.
