TRAGIC: Accident on Accra-Kumasi Highway Claims Three Kick the Bucket.

On Friday, May 19, a tragic accident occurred on the Accra-Kumasi highway, resulting in the death of three people. 


The accident involved a Hyundai Sonata car with registration number GS 7776-19, which plunged into a river at Enyiresi.


Eyewitnesses reported that the driver of the Hyundai Sonata lost control of the steering wheel while attempting to avoid a head-on collision with a Sprinter bus that made a wrongful overtaking. 


The car somersaulted and plunged into the nearby river, leading to the death of all three occupants.

According to reports, the deceased persons were on their way to Nkoranza in the Bono East Region to bury a mother.


The news of their untimely death has come as a shock to their loved ones and the entire community.


The incident has once again highlighted the need for drivers to exercise caution and adhere to traffic regulations on the road. Wrongful overtaking and reckless driving have been identified as major causes of road accidents in Ghana.

Personnel from the National Ambulance Service and Ghana National Fire Service retrieved the bodies from the river. The police have also launched an investigation into the incident to determine the cause and bring the culprits to book.

We extend our deepest condolences to the families and friends of the deceased. May their souls rest in peace.
