Upon reaching the Kpeshie Bridge, the vehicle veered off its lane to the other lane.

'It then went straight into the Teshie Lagoon,' the eyewitness told Joy News’ Jennifer Kwakyewaa Akuamoah during a visit to the scene.

Nine hours after the vehicle was successfully pulled out of the water by a towing truck at exactly 11am, three people, including the driver and the mate, were found inside with various degrees of injuries.
