Firefighters from the Apam Fire Station successfully rescued two individuals trapped following a head-on collision between two Mercedes-Benz Sprinters on the Apam-Mankessim highway at Gomoa Abotsia.

Twelve other victims, who sustained various injuries, were able to self-rescue before the fire crew arrived.
