One injured in fresh multi-vehicle crash on Ofankor–Pokuase stretch

A person sustained serious injuries in a multi-vehicle collision on the Ofankor–Pokuase segment of the Accra–Kumasi Highway, less than a week after another accident on the same stretch claimed 12 lives. The recent incident, which occurred on Wednesday morning, involved four vehicles: a VIP bus, a military vehicle, a Toyota Vitz, and a four-wheel-drive vehicle.

Despite the severity of the crash, no fatalities were reported; the injured individual was taken to a hospital for treatment. The crash has led to significant traffic congestion on the Kumasi-bound lanes, causing considerable delays for motorists. Ga North's Municipal Chief Executive, Akwetey Agbo, cited driver negligence as the cause of the recurring crashes, urging for the installation of speed cameras to deter speeding.

He emphasized the need for motorists to exercise caution, especially when descending from John Teye towards Pokuase, as the short distance between the two locations demands careful driving and adherence to speed limits. Agbo advocated for continuous public education and strict enforcement of speed limits to minimize such incidents along the corridor.
