Toyota Voxy driver sentenced to prison; Here is why

A Toyota Voxy driver who goes by the name Richard Agyarko has been jailed after a video of him driving went viral.

In the viral video, Richard Agyarko who is privately known could be seen driving carelessly on the Accra-Kumasi highway.

Following the viral video, the Toyota Voxy Driver was arrested by the Ghana police after which he was sentenced to two months’ imprisonment with hard labor.

Revealing what triggered the decision to arrest and jail the driver, the Ghana Police via their official social media handles shared that “the suspect was charged with driving on the wrong side of the road, causing road obstruction, causing danger to other road users, and careless and inconsiderate driving, contrary to the Road Traffic Regulations and the Road Traffic Act”.

They added that “On 8th May 2026, the accused was arraigned before the La Motor Court, presided over by Her Worship Adwoa Sakyi Asumadu, where he pleaded guilty to all charges.”

The Ghana Police has therefore advised that “Motorists are urged to drive responsibly and comply with all road traffic regulations to help protect lives and property”.
