22 injured as Sprinter bus overturns at Sege after tyre burst

Twenty-two individuals suffered injuries in a road accident at Sege, Ghana, following a tyre burst that caused a Sprinter bus to overturn on Friday, October 9, 2026. The incident unfolded around 11:30 AM, prompting a response from personnel from the Ghana Police Service, the Ghana National Fire Service, and concerned residents. According to eyewitness Mr. Evans Doetse Huago, the vehicle, registered GW 569-26, was en route from Aflao to Accra when the left rear tyre burst.

This prompted the driver to lose control, leading to the vehicle veering off course and overturning, resulting in injuries for the passengers and the driver. Mr. Huago noted that several passengers might have been traveling from the Volta Region based on their language. The victims were promptly taken to the Sege Polyclinic for medical attention with the help of the police and fire service.

The bus was reportedly heavily loaded, with goods not only in the trunk but also on the roof, raising concerns about the strain on the tyres. A welder present near the accident site swiftly arrived with a tipper truck to aid in the safe removal of the goods, while the police coordinated the extraction of the damaged bus. At the time of this report, officials at the scene declined to provide further comment to the media.
