A man will spend two years in prison for causing the death of a pedestrian. The Accra Circuit Court handed down the sentence.
He was found guilty of causing death by dangerous driving. The incident involved a private vehicle.
Judicial Service records show the court also disqualified the driver from holding a license for five years. This prevents him from driving after his prison term.
The court determined the driver's actions endangered public safety. The pedestrian died as a result of the incident.
This legal action follows a prosecution by the state. The prosecution presented evidence of the driver's reckless behaviour.
The case highlights the serious consequences of dangerous driving. It serves as a reminder of road safety rules.
The sentence aims to ensure accountability. It also seeks to deter similar future offences on Ghana's roads.
