The Ankobeahene of Bechem Traditional Area,  Nana Otamakro Kwadwo Adubofour made the call in an interview with GNA at Bechem
   
He said the spate of lorry accidents in the country required prudent measures for easy identification of accident victims and deceased persons.   
 
Nana Adubofour, who is Chairman of Bechem GPRTU disciplinary committee, said some people who died in lorry accidents were kept in the mortuary at hospitals for long periods because their identities could not be established early.
    
He also said hospital authorities found it difficult to contact relatives of victims of accident in critical conditions.
