The heavy downpour in the morning of Monday, May 6, 2024, caused significant havoc in the nation's capital, Accra.
Reports indicate that several vehicles were destroyed by fallen trees in parts of the city, including the Airport area.
A video shared by Accra-based TV3 showed at least two vehicles severely damaged by some fallen trees near the Landing Restaurant at Airport.
The video showed, for instance, a Toyota Corolla trapped under huge tree trunks.
The top part of the car, including the bonnet and the roof, was completely destroyed.
A Toyota Vitz was also struck by several trees.
One of the trees was seen resting on the car, which had its backside extensively damaged.
No injuries were reported from the incident at Airport.
GhanaWeb had earlier reported a similar incident, which left one person in a reportedly critical condition near the Togo Embassy area.
According to a post by TV3, a tree also fell on a four-wheel drive and a motorcycle on the road close to the embassy.
"One person is said to be in critical condition after a tree fell on a motorcycle and a four-wheel drive. This occurred after heavy rains in the early hours of today, May 6," TV3 reported.
