A Ghanaian footballer, Emmanuel Noel Asare Adams, known as Marcelo, and his friends met their untimely deaths after their car got trapped in the floods on the Accra-Tema motorway.

The late Noel Adams was returning home on Saturday, May 25, 2024, when the tragic incident occurred at the Abattoir bridge.

Initial reports surfaced after Adams, a 25-year-old left-back, failed to return home, prompting friends and family to launch a search effort.

The mangled car was discovered on Tuesday afternoon in the lagoon at the Lashibi-Klagon bridge.

Personnel from the Ghana National Fire Service later lifted the damaged car from the drains, and upon search, two lifeless individuals were discovered in separate locations: one at Tema Community 19 and the other at a beach in Klagon, but the player was nowhere to be found.

The body of Noel Adams was eventually discovered at a beach in Klagon.

It is believed that the player decided to drop off the two individuals who were heading in his direction.

Upon reaching the Abattoir bridge on the Accra-Tema motorway, Adams' car got trapped in the rain and was swept away into the drain.

The late Noel Adams, aged 25, played as a left-back for QTF Academy.
