On Monday, a tragic head-on collision on the Konongo-Kumasi Highway claimed the lives of three individuals, including two Indian nationals.

The accident involved a Nissan pickup (registration number GN 1645-21) and a Mitsubishi Fuso articulated truck (registration number GT 8794-W).

The Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) reported that the Nissan, carrying two individuals believed to be Indian nationals in their 30s, collided with the truck.

According to police reports, the incident occurred around 4:20 pm when the Nissan, driven by 42-year-old Obeng Michael, was traveling towards Kumasi. As Michael attempted to overtake vehicles while ascending a hill near New Koforidua along the highway, the collision transpired with the oncoming articulated truck driven by 54-year-old Mohammad Nassam, who was transporting poly tanks.

Following the crash, an operation led by SubO Sarpong Francis Boateng rescued one injured person from the scene.

The deceased victims were later transported to the Steward morgue for preservation, while investigations into the incident are ongoing.
