He said the Police have begun checking over speeding and unnecessary overtaking on the roads to ensure the right things are done.

Supt. Tenkorang added that, sensitization has also begun at the various transport terminals in the region for both drivers and passengers on the negative effects of overloading.

On her part, the Bono regional Minister, Hon. Justina Owusu Banahene listed among other things the challenges confronting the region as far as road accidents are concern.
