Police at Nkoranza in the Brong Ahafo Region recorded 13 motor accidents involving 15 vehicles between January and March this year.
Three people died whilst 29 others sustained various degrees of injuries, Superintendent D.O. Lomotey, District Police Commander, disclosed this to the Ghana News Agency in an interview at Nkoranza.
He expressed concern about the spate of road accidents nationwide and said it was the responsibility of all to take precautionary measures to check the trend.
"There is the need for both drivers and pedestrians to adhere strictly to and observe traffic regulations to prevent accidents," he said.
Supt. Lomotey advised drivers to avoid over speeding and unnecessary overtaking, which he said had been identified as major causes of road accidents.
He asked drivers to limit speed in town and at road crossing points to avoid knocking down pedestrians or running into other vehicles.
Supt. Lomotey said parents and teachers must also educate children on how to cross the road and advise them against playing football at the roadside.
He said; "people should be careful whenever they wish to cross the road, by firstly looking left, then right and left again before crossing".
Supt Lomotey urged drivers to ensure that they had clear view before overtaking a vehicle to avoid running into an on-coming vehicle.
