An unnamed man yesterday escaped death by the whiskers when a massive tree fell on his car and crushed the front beyond repair.
The accident scene
On Thursday night, a giant mahogany tree fell in front of the Legon Hall, University of Ghana, which caused a huge damage to properties and blocked the main road.
The tree smashed a four-wheel drive car in the process few minutes after the driver got out.
According to an eyewitness, the tree fell as a result of a pipe that had been leaking copious amounts of water under it, adding that the tree was vulnerable to falling off since it hadn’t been pruned for decades.
