A man is receiving specialist medical care at the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital after a motorcycle key reportedly became lodged in his skull during a fight involving two commercial motorcycle riders at Jasikan in the Oti Region.
The incident occurred on Wednesday when two Okada riders allegedly engaged in a physical confrontation over a passenger.
Reports indicate that the victim was not part of the dispute but got injured while attempting to intervene and separate the two riders.
According to eyewitness accounts, the man tried to stop the fight but was struck during the struggle, resulting in the motorcycle key piercing his head and becoming stuck in his skull.
He was immediately rushed to a nearby health facility for initial treatment. However, due to the seriousness of his condition and the need for specialised medical attention, he was later referred to the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital in Accra.
Medical experts at Korle Bu are currently attending to him as they work to manage the injury and provide the necessary treatment. The full extent of his condition has not yet been disclosed.
Commercial motorcycle operations remain a popular means of transport in many parts of Ghana, especially in areas where access to other forms of public transportation is limited.
However, concerns have often been raised about road safety, rider behaviour and conflicts linked to the sector.
Authorities are expected to investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident and determine whether any action should be taken against those involved in the fight.
Further updates on the victim’s condition are expected as treatment continues at Korle Bu Teaching Hospital.
