Thirty-Eight out of over 600 vehicles acquired for the Ghana Police Service by the government recently, have been damaged through major and minor motor accidents.
ASP David Eklu, Public Relations Director of the service, confirmed this in an interview in Accra.
He explained that all but two of the vehicles have been repaired and are back on the road.
He indicated that the accidents were the results of highway and high speed chase of suspects in the country.
He noted that in one of the accidents, a suspect who was being conveyed to a police station broke the glass in an attempt to abscond, but was apprehended after the vehicle crashed.
According to him, seven drivers were interdicted and investigations were conducted into their performance as drivers of the Service.
They have since been re-instated, but have since been suspended from driving until further notice.
