About 22 injured in road accident at Sege

Twenty-two individuals were injured in a road accident that unfolded in Sege on Friday, October 9, 2026. The incident occurred after a Sprinter bus experienced a tyre burst, causing the vehicle to overturn around 11:30 AM. Emergency services, including personnel from the Ghana Police Service and the Ghana National Fire Service, as well as local residents, rushed to the scene.

An eyewitness, Mr. Evans Doetse Huago, provided details to the Ghana News Agency (GNA). According to Mr. Huago, the bus, registered as GW 569-26, was en route from Aflao to Accra when the left rear tyre suddenly burst. The driver lost control of the vehicle, which veered off course and overturned, resulting in injuries to the passengers, including the driver.

Mr. Huago noted that some passengers' language indicated they may have been traveling from the Volta Region. The injured were swiftly transported to the Sege Polyclinic for medical attention, with the aid of police and fire service personnel. The bus was reportedly heavily loaded, with goods stacked both in the trunk and on the roof, which raised concerns about the additional weight potentially stressing the tyres.

A welder who was nearby the accident scene arrived promptly with a tipper truck to assist in safely transporting the goods and the police coordinated the removal of the damaged vehicle. At the time of reporting, officials at the scene had declined to comment to the media.
