Several people have sustained injuries after a truck fell off the Circle flyover in Accra, the capital of Ghana.

The newly constructed flyover was commissioned by President John Mahama at a launch ceremony on November 14, 2016.

Dubbed the 'Dubai-inspired' flyover, the new construction was meant to ease up traffic in that part of Accra, the capital of Ghana.

The Kwame Nkrumah Circle is a key intersection in the major road network in Accra.

The GH₵320.2 million projects were jointly financed by the Brazilian government and the government of Ghana.
