Some Ghanaians have reacted angrily after a video of a tractor carrying a heavy log decided to use the busy streets of Ejisu in the Ashanti Region whilst it struggled to meander its way through traffic.
A video circulating online showed the bulldozer with a log fork affixed to it carrying the heavy log horizontally in front. The log is seen dangling in the air causing panic among residents and road users.
The video shared on Facebook by presidential staffer Charles Nii Teiko Tagoe has got many people condemning the practice as it poses danger to road users and bystanders.
Some residents are heard in the video screaming out of fear, with some of them asking if the driver of the bulldozer was mentally unstable because of how he appeared not to care about the whole incident.
As the heavy log dangles in the air, other vehicles could be seen hurrying to pass by it quickly to avoid any accident.
It is unclear where the log was being conveyed from and to where and for what purpose.
What is also baffling is the fact that a police officer is captured in the video at the time and place where the scary incident took place, but he didn’t make any attempt to question the driver of the bulldozer or ensure the safety of the civilians.
