The Member of Parliament for Jomoro Constituency in the Western Region, Dorcas Affo-Toffey, and her entourage were involved in a near-fatal accident at Komenda Junction on the Takoradi-Cape Coast-Accra Highway in the early hours of Thursday, August 29, 2024.
The MP and her team were returning to Accra after launching her campaign in Half Assini over the weekend.
According to eyewitnesses, around 5:05 am, as they were heading back to Accra, Madam Affo-Toffey’s Ford Raptor vehicle was nearly involved in a horrific accident due to an overtaking heavy truck.
The incident occurred when two heavy trucks attempted to overtake each other.
One of the truck drivers, who appeared to be dozing off, lost control of the steering, causing a dangerous situation on the road.
In a quick and desperate move to avoid a deadly collision, the driver of Madam Affo-Toffey’s vehicle swerved off the road into a nearby bush.
Madam Dorcas Affo-Toffey and the three other occupants in the vehicle were rushed to the hospital, where they are currently receiving treatment.
While the vehicle sustained damage, all occupants are reported to be in stable condition.
