Two feared dead, several injured after trailer crashes into vehicles at Krofrom
Two people are feared dead and several others injured following a multi-vehicle accident at Krofrom in Kumasi.
A multi-vehicle accident occurred on the Krofrom–Moro Market road in Kumasi, leaving at least two people feared dead and several others injured. The crash happened when a fully loaded DAF trailer reportedly experienced brake failure, causing it to crash into a Pragyia tricycle and multiple other vehicles. Eyewitnesses reported that the victims primarily included occupants of the tricycle and a motorbike.
According to an eyewitness named TK, the trailer was descending the steep slope when its brakes failed, trapping the Pragyia and dragging it to the side of the road. Other vehicles were struck as they collided with nearby shops. Emergency services responded to the scene to rescue trapped victims and manage the injured, with the crash causing significant disruption to traffic on a busy stretch.
Concerns have been raised about the trailer's worn-out tires, with some questioning how it was permitted to operate on the road in that condition. The identities of the deceased and injured have not been officially confirmed, and investigators are currently determining the exact cause of the accident.
