The award-winning radio presenter shared how that accident changed her life forever. Recalling the harrowing experience, Andoh described being pulled out of the bus while pleading with the rescue team to lay her flat on the ground.
“It was September 23, 1993. I was on my way to Accra Polytechnic for a mock exam before the real exams a couple of weeks later.”
“I was sitting in a public transport vehicle; at that time, we had only the Trotro that operated from Accra to Tema. I was seated behind the driver when a large truck collided with the driver’s side.”
“I remember it vividly, the sound of the impact was overwhelming, and the bus tipped onto its side. I sensed that something was seriously wrong as they began to pull people out.”
“The guy sitting next to me, I think he died. They took me out through the window, and I warned them to be careful because my legs didn’t feel right.”
