A man has recounted how he watched floodwaters wash his wife away at Teshie Rasta in Accra.
Bernard Kofi Agyei Oppong said all efforts to rescue his wife, Dr Aya Hayfron who was trapped in her Hyundai Accent saloon car proved futile.
Narrating his ordeal on Adom FM’s Dwaso Nsem Tuesday, Mr Oppong said his wife was driving home from church around 10 pm together with two other passengers when the incident occurred.
He said the heavy floods swept away the vehicle after the missing doctor attempted to cross a bridge on a small river called Naa Pra.
The distraught husband said rescuers were unable to save the 32-year-old doctor but managed to save the two passengers who had been offered a lift by the deceased.
Mr Oppong said they her car has been found in the river as rescuers hope to find her alive.
“I know my wife is waiting for me somewhere. I believe she is alive and probably in a hospital”, he bemoaned.
He revealed they have a 15-month-old baby together and were hoping to enrol her in school to enable his wife go back to work.
He said they are still making a frantic effort to ‘rescue’ his beloved wife and appealed to the general public who may have any information on the missing doctor to contact the police.
Meanwhile, police in Teshie together with the Ghana National Fire Service are still searching for the missing doctor.
Teshie Police Commander, Superintendent Peter Yembilla said they will not stop the rescue mission until they find Dr Hayfron.

Let us hope that she is still alive. With God all things are possible.
God is always faithful. let us continue to trust God through his beloved son Jesus Christ that she is not dead. Even the judicial set up will say 'the person is not guilty until found guilty" so are believers. Until she is found no one should pronounce her as dead. Doctor is alive.
Very unfortunate....May Her soul Rest In peace.....Howevermotorists should use their discretion well when driving in these rainy seasons......try to analyse the situation before driving through the water......IF YOU HAVE A SLIGHT DOUBT......PARK TILL WATER LEVEL REDUCE.....DON'T follow these boys who always say go go go.....
