One injured in fresh Ofankor-Pokuase highway crash, days after 11 died

One person has been seriously injured in a multi-vehicle crash on the Ofankor-Pokuase stretch of the Accra-Kumasi Highway. The crash, which occurred on Wednesday morning, involved four vehicles: a VIP bus, a military vehicle, a Toyota Vitz, and a four-wheel-drive vehicle.

According to Adom Online and MyJoyOnline Ghana, the incident happened less than a week after a separate accident on the same stretch claimed 11 lives, as reported by 3News, or 12 lives, as reported by Adom Online and MyJoyOnline Ghana. The latest crash did not result in any fatalities, but the injured person was rushed to a medical facility for treatment.

The Ga North Municipal Chief Executive, Akwetey Agbo, attributed the recurring crashes on the stretch to driver indiscipline. He called for the installation of speed cameras to help curb speeding and urged motorists to exercise greater caution, particularly when descending from the John Teye area towards Pokuase. The crash caused heavy traffic congestion on the Kumasi-bound lanes, leaving motorists stranded in significant delays.
