A ghastly crash at Wassa Akropong has resulted in the loss of one life and left two others with varying degrees of injuries.

The collision involved a white Toyota Corolla bearing the registration number WT 616-21 and a heavy-duty truck registered as GN 4940-22.

The tragic incident unfolded as the driver of the sedan car attempted to overtake another vehicle without realizing that a large truck was approaching from the opposite direction.

The impact of the collision was of such magnitude that the front portion of the sedan car became completely mangled, resulting in injuries to the driver and two other passengers.

Regrettably, the driver of the sedan car succumbed to the injuries sustained in the crash, and efforts are underway to establish the individual's identity.

Prompt response was initiated by the police and the Motor Traffic and Transport Department, who swiftly arrived at the scene to provide immediate assistance to the injured passengers and carry out rescue operations.
