A man involved in a serious Mercedes-Benz crash at Legon, Accra, has reportedly walked away without injuries, prompting him to make a striking comment about vehicle safety.
Images and a video circulating on social media show the heavily damaged Mercedes-Benz after the crash. The front section of the vehicle appears severely damaged, while the windshield and bonnet also sustained significant impact.
In a statement attributed to the driver following the incident, he said: “Buy a bulletproof car if you have money; it will somersault several times and you’ll wake up solid.”
The comment has attracted attention online, particularly because of the extent of the damage visible on the vehicle compared with the reported condition of the occupant.

However, the available social media material does not independently establish the exact cause of the crash, the speed of the vehicle, whether the Mercedes-Benz was actually armoured, or whether anyone else was involved.
GhanaMedia.net has also not independently verified the man’s identity or the full circumstances surrounding the accident as of publication.
The incident has nevertheless reignited conversations online about vehicle safety, road awareness and the importance of exercising caution regardless of the type or value of a vehicle.
Road crashes can result in serious injuries even when occupants survive, making responsible driving and adherence to road safety regulations essential.
