Ghanaian leader in car accident

Mr Kufuor is well into his second term as Ghana's president

Ghanaian President John Kufuor has been involved in a car crash in the capital, Accra, but appears to have escaped unhurt, according to his office.
Witnesses say they saw a vehicle crash into his car, causing it to roll over several times. When it came to a stop Mr Kufuor emerged holding his head.

A presidential spokesman said he seemed fine but was seen by his doctor.

The driver of the other car is being treated in hospital and police have reportedly begun an investigation.

Mr Kufuor appeared healthy and composed and underwent checks in the presidential palace to ensure he was not at risk, presidential press secretary Andy Awuni said.

"He has been back at his desk since 1200 in scheduled meetings with traditional leaders," he told the BBC's Focus on Africa.
