Twenty-eight died in road accidents during the Christmas festivities.
Some 148 individuals also suffered various injuries as 133 accidents occurred between 24th and 26th December 2021.
This is according to data compiled by the Ghana Police Service’s Motor Traffic and Transport Department (MTTD).
Road crashes remain an issue of concern as many lives are lost yearly to the menace.
The Police MTTD has compiled accident data over the years to understand the situation in a bid to stem the tide.
For the period 19th December to 25th December (seven days), 81 lives were lost. In addition, some 378 persons were injured from 373 accidents.
Accra was the worst hit with 156 reported accident cases, followed closely by the Ashanti region with 90 reported cases.
The Savanna Region is the only region without a reported accident case. On the other hand, the North East region reported one case.
Also, 148 others were injured. Again, Accra was the worst hit with 44 reported accident cases, followed closely by the Ashanti region with 22 reported cases.
The Savanna Region did not record any cases within this period as well. In addition, the Ahafo region that previously recorded two cases in the period preceding Christmas did not register any case.
