‘Water and salt’: Qusra residents trapped in Israeli settler siege

Israeli settlers and soldiers besiege Qusra families for eight days, blocking water and aid.

The Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) successfully rescued a driver trapped inside a trailer following an accident at Water Falls Junction on the Kintampo–Tamale Highway. The unfortunate incident unfolded as a Shacman trailer, carrying bottles of drinks and bearing registration number GC 3825-19, collided while en route from Kumasi to Buipe.

Upon receiving a distress call around 4:36 p.m., the Municipal Commander, DOII Twum Prempeh Dominic, dispatched a rescue team to the scene. Lead by Assistant Station Officer Agyekum Emmanuel, the team equipped with DPT No. FS 498 reached Water Falls Junction at approximately 4:46 p.m. Upon their arrival, the firefighters found the driver ensnared within the vehicle and immediately set about liberating him.

After a successful rescue operation, the driver was safely removed from the wreckage and taken to a medical facility. The firefighters then proceeded to secure the accident zone to avert any further hazards before heading back to their station at around 6:27 p.m. The GNFS refrained from disclosing additional specifics regarding the driver's condition or the factors that contributed to the accident.
