The taxi in the video was seen overturning as the woman kept screaming for help that appeared to have had no prospects of coming.
The incident took place on October 28, just after about an hour of heavy rainfall that hit the national capital, Greater Accra Region.
It is hoped that responsible stakeholders sit up and fix the perennial flooding issue that keeps claiming lives year in and year out particularly in and around Accra.
