Just Another Afternoon in Lawra


Earlier this week, I had to travel to Accra. So, I bought my OA bus ticket the day before and went home to pack. So, the following day, I reported to the OA "station" at 2:00 in the afternoon. The bus comes between 2:30 and 3:00 in the afternoon, in the ideal world. I was sitting there, watching some guys play Drafts, when, all of a sudden, we heard a screech and a crash. There was a motorcycle accident on the road twenty feet away from us. One moto drove to close to the second one, causing the second one to crash. It fell over, sending the passenger onto the road, and the driver, still in place on his bike, but, horizontal instead of vertical. The fender broke off and the passenger was obviously injured. The driver of the other motorcycle wasn't hurt, maybe because he didn't fall over. Anyway, the passenger was helped back onto the motorcycle and taken to Lawra hospital. The other driver drove off. No exchange of insurance. No police. Ten minutes after it happened, there were no tell tale signs! Just another afternoon in Lawra!
