One dead, others injured in accident on the Kasoa–Winneba Road

A fatal accident occurred on the Kasoa-Winneba road on Saturday, August 15, 2024, when a water tanker collided head-on with a Toyota Voxy at Tipper Junction. The impact resulted in the death of one individual and eight others who sustained various injuries. Emergency personnel from the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) were immediately dispatched to the scene, with firefighters from the Buduburam Fire Station arriving to assist.

They successfully rescued eight trapped victims, who were promptly transported to the Mother and Child Hospital in Kasoa for medical treatment. Regrettably, one of the rescued individuals succumbed to their injuries shortly thereafter. Despite the efforts of the emergency responders, the deceased could not be saved. Both vehicles involved in the collision were severely damaged; the Toyota Voxy sustained extensive damage, particularly to its engine compartment, while the water tanker experienced partial damage.

The identities of the deceased and injured victims have yet to be determined, and the exact cause of the accident remains under investigation.
