A
disturbing video of a taxi and another saloon car that were trapped in
floodwater after just an hour of downpour has raised many eyebrows on social
media.
In
the footage sighted by Globaltipsgh.com on the official Instagram page of
factsandtruths_official, it was confirmed that the incident was recorded around
Santa Maria in Accra.
According
to the lady who took the footage from a safe haven, the cars were containing
about three people each before the flood trapped them.
Watch
the video below:
The taxi in the video was seen overturning as the woman kept screaming for help that appeared to have had no prospects of coming.
The
incident took place on October 28, just after about an hour of heavy rainfall
that hit the national capital, Greater Accra Region.
It
is hoped that responsible stakeholders sit up and fix the perennial flooding
issue that keeps claiming lives year in and year out particularly in and around
Accra.
At
the end of the downpour, some residents of the affected areas who were rescued
from the rampaging flood took shelter in their neighbourhood.
Areas
mostly affected were the Gidan Bugaje Bakin Korama, Gaba Wuri, Gangaren Bakin
Gidan Zaki, and Katanga. In some of the affected areas, houses and foodstuffs
were seen submerging in the flood.
