The truck was transporting a Biomass Fired Steam Boiler meant for a toilet tissue paper manufacturing company at Buduburam in the Central Region.

The equipment exceeded the 5-metre allowable height beneath the overpass.

According to the Ashaiman Police, the driver of the truck, Fatawu Abdullai, would be charged for destroying public property.
