A young woman was Wednesday morning left to battle for life as she fell off a commercial motorbike (Okada) and was hit by a speeding Mercedes-Benz Sprinter passenger minibus on the Tema – Accra Motorway.<\/p>\n

The woman, identified by her work colleagues only as Abigail, suffered a deep cut on the forehead and a broken hand and lay motionless at the accident spot for a while before a ‘Good Samaritan’, a cabbie driver rushed her limp body to the hospital.<\/p>\n

She wore no helmet at the time and eyewitnesses suggested she would survive the ghastly 6:20am accident only by a miracle.<\/p>\n

Two others with her on the Okada, both males and also without helmets, escaped being hit but suffered some bruises.<\/p>\n

The accident occurred when the motor hit a bump and fell on its side, throwing the rider and his two pillions onto the highway.<\/p>\n

The driver of a Hyundai passenger bus with registration number GM 5645 – 13 who immediately followed the motorbike with registration number M-13 1936 narrowly avoided the falling trio as he swerved into the inner lane.<\/p>\n

The Sprinter bus which followed next, however, could not react immediately and ran into the fallen motorbike, hitting Abigail who was only a few metres away from her workplace, a T-roll manufacturing company.<\/p>\n
