Three individuals are battling for their lives following a devastating head-on collision between an articulator truck and a Jeep 4x4 on the Berekum-Sampa road in the Bono Region.

The victims, whose identities are yet to be confirmed, are currently receiving emergency treatment at the Berekum Holy Family Hospital, according to reports gathered by the Ghana News Agency (GNA).

The accident, which occurred between 7:00 PM and 8:00 PM, involved an articulator truck with registration number BA 1818-15, carrying a load of cashew nuts en route to Sampa.

The driver, in an attempt to navigate around a stationary tipper truck that had broken down in the middle of the road, collided head-on with a Land Rover vehicle (GR 9547-14) coming from the opposite direction.

Meanwhile, Joseph Nkrumah, the Berekum branch secretary of the Cargo Union under the Progressive Transport Owners Association of Ghana (PROTOA), confirmed that authorities have since cleared the road to restore smooth vehicular movement.
