Two male victims who were trapped in a tipper truck at a multi-vehicle crash on the Accra-Kumasi Highway near Akyem Asafo on Monday, May 12, were rescued by a team from the Suhum Fire Station.

The crew of 5 was led by STNOII Addo Emmanuel. According to the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS), preliminary findings indicate that the accident was triggered when the tipper truck driver suddenly braked due to poor visibility.

The Scania truck (GS 6294-10) behind failed to stop in time and collided with the tipper truck, forcing it to crash into the DAF trailer (AW 6294-11) ahead, resulting in a chain-reaction collision.

The rescued victims were transported to the Suhum Government Hospital by the National Ambulance Service.

Unfortunately, 3 other persons, a male and two females, lost their lives in the collision involving a tipper truck, a Scania cargo truck , and a DAF trailer.
