Also, households should ensure their water receptacles are properly closed to protect their children from falling into them.

Road traffic accident records at Pathology Department indicated 193 fatalities were recorded in 2017 and 184 fatalities this year.

It said 13 persons who were victims of pedestrian knock-downs could not be identified.

“Members of the public are therefore encouraged to always be in possession of their personal identification cards to help Police and respondents easily identify them in the event of any accident or health challenges,” it advised.

It identified were Abeka, Adenta, Airport, Amasaman, Legon, Madina, Nima, Tesano and Weija as the most prone knockdown areas in Accra.

It has thus advised drivers be careful on these highways and major roads and drive according to the approved speed limits to help reduce road fatalities.

The Police Hospital also asked pedestrians to wear bright colours or reflectors during the night to prompt drivers of their presence.

“It is also hoped that organizers of beach parties and other entertainment events especially near water bodies and road sides provide the needed security and create the necessary awareness amongst revelers to make the forth coming Yuletide drowning and accident free,”.
