Accident scene involving Samson Lardy Anyenini's car
A private legal practitioner Samson Lardy Anyenini has recounted how he nearly lost his life in a horrific accident on the Accra-Tema Motorway six years ago.
Anyenini was returning to Accra from Tema after a court session when a vehicle from the other lane had a tyre bust and veered into his lane resulting in the accident.
Speaking in an interview with Asaase News’s Caleb Ahinakwah, Anyenini said he deliberately now uses other routes to Tema just to avoid the bad memory.
“I will confess to you that, this is a memory I don’t like, and it is because six years ago on 5 April. I had just turned 40 and my last child was just about one year old.
“And to look back at the accident scene and seeing my vehicle which was a very strong vehicle, because I understand its part of the reason why am alive and to see the other vehicle and how the occupant died instantly, tells me how I just escaped.”
“But for God, I would have been dead. So there is a trauma it brings and it is the reason I don’t like the memory, to think that I would have just prematurely left my family which depends on me and many people as well,” he said.

Commendation
Anyenini commended Asaase Radio for taking the bold initiative to embark on the #SafeMotorway4All campaign to save lives.
“So, I think you guys are doing a good job with this. Let’s hope and pray that it will bring the results that it must bring so that we don’t have many more lives lost at that place.”
“Because to think that its been six years and it has only gotten worse on that stretch, its bad,” Anyenini said.
