Singer Wendy Shay found herself in a harrowing car accident, as reported by UTV news. The incident unfolded on a fateful Saturday night along the Kwabenya road in Accra.
A heart-wrenching video shared by the television station reveals the extent of damage inflicted upon Wendy's Jeep Wrangler, adorned with the distinctive registration plate "SHAY 21-19." The front side of the vehicle lay in a mangled and twisted state, bearing witness to the severity of the collision.
According to accounts from the scene, Wendy Shay's vehicle had a fateful encounter with a tipper truck loaded with a heavy cargo of sand. The collision left both vehicles battered and shattered.
During a live broadcast of the incident on UTV's 'United Showbiz,' Prince Obimpeh, the Deputy News Editor of the station, provided a firsthand account of the events. He had fortuitously come across the scene and immediately sprung into action.
Prince Obimpeh mentioned that the stretch of road between the ACP Junction and Kwabenya, typically devoid of heavy traffic during the night, often saw cars speeding recklessly despite the presence of police. As he descended from a nearby valley, close to the KNUST Accra Campus Junction, he observed a gathering of concerned individuals around a damaged car.
Curiosity piqued, he decided to investigate further and parked his vehicle. As he approached the scene, he discerned a woman with distinctive dreadlocks who bore a striking resemblance to Wendy Shay. Upon closer inspection, he confirmed that it was indeed the singer herself. Notably, her Wrangler bore a customized number plate, proudly displaying her name.
Prince Obimpeh engaged Wendy Shay in conversation, seeking to understand the circumstances surrounding the accident. However, it quickly became evident that Wendy was in considerable distress, primarily due to a severe headache she had sustained from hitting her head on the dashboard during the collision.
In the meantime, emergency services had been summoned, and Wendy Shay was promptly transported to the hospital for much-needed medical attention.
It is worth noting that Wendy Shay had recently graced the music scene with two new songs, 'Every Man Cheats' and 'Heartless,' making the accident all the more shocking for her fans and well-wishers.
