Following a news report that a long truck had fallen off the Achimota Overhead onto the road below it after the driver reportedly applied the brakes suddenly to avoid a vehicle ahead, Fan Milk has provided insight into the matter.

According to Fan Milk, the truck involved in the accident belongs to one of its third-party logistics partners, Adwenpa Transport Services Limited.

The ice cream and frozen dairy products manufacturer stated categorically that the truck was not carrying any product at the time the unfortunate incident occurred on Saturday, January 25, 2025.

In a press release sighted by GhanaWeb, Fan Milk said Adwenpa Transport Services Limited is collaborating with the authorities to review the incident.

"We are aware of an incident that occurred at 6:00 PM today, 25th January 2025, at Achimota overhead bridge involving a truck belonging to one of Fan Milk’s third-party logistics partners, Adwenpa Transport Services Limited. The truck was not carrying any product," part of the release read.

However, eyewitnesses said the truck with the Fan Milk logo mounted the pavement, broke through the railing of the bridge, and fell to the ground as a result of the sudden halt.

No injuries were reported in the crash that occurred Saturday evening.

The accident caused a gridlock along the Achimota-Tesano stretch.

Motorists were left with no option but to avoid the route and seek alternative routes to continue their journies.
