The accident took place right on front of Whiteflower, the home of former President Charles Taylor in Congotown near the Palm Springs Hotel. The accident comes amid mount criticisms of wanton abuse of traffic laws by both elected and appointed officials of government. An onlooker who said the accident nearly ran into his little boy, said: “This bigshot thing needs to stop. “I have disagreed with the Speaker on many national issues, but in this case when traffic is blocked, where do you want the speaker to pass? My regret to those affected but the speaker in 3rd lane is no violation as of now, until we amend the law.”
