A heavy downpour Sunday afternoon has flooded the Pokuase–Amasaman road, leaving hundreds of commuters stranded in traffic for hours.

The rain which started late afternoon at about 3pm, has caused severe flooding along the stretch between the Ofankor Barrier and the Mile 7 roundabout, making it impossible for vehicles to move in either direction.

The gridlock stretched from St. John’s Hospital to Ofankor and beyond with some drivers abandoning their vehicles altogether.

Photos and videos from the scene show rising floodwaters and stranded vehicles stuck in traffic.
