A District Magistrate Court at Assin Fosso, on Monday imposed a fine of GH�180.00 on Mr. Frank Larnyo Mensah, a taxi driver for careless and inconsiderate driving and negligently causing harm.
The convict, who pleaded guilty on all three counts, would go to jail for three months in default.
Inspector Peter Attah told the court presided over by Mr. Joseph Blay that on December 29, 2009, Mensah drove a taxi cab from Assin Akrofuom towards Takoradi.
The prosecution said that on reaching a section of the road, he attempted to bypass a stationary tipper truck and in the process veered off his lane into the other lane and collided with an on coming taxi cab.
Inspector Atta said as a result of the accident, some passengers on board the other taxi sustained various degrees of injuries and were rushed to Assin Fosu St. Xavier Hospital.
