  "account": "On Sunday, August 16, 2026, the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) successfully rescued a man trapped in a Kia Rio after a crash with a Ford F-150 on the Accra–Kumasi Highway near Suhum Niifio. A six-person team from the Suhum Municipal Fire Station, led by STNO II Darkwah Prince, responded to the scene at 8:03pm.\n\nUpon arrival, the GNFS crew discovered the Ford F-150, registered DV B9981, and the Kia Rio, registered AS 5401-12, entangled in the collision. The trapped individual was extricated using specialized equipment and promptly taken to the Suhum Government Hospital for medical attention. Initial reports suggest the Ford F-150 had overtook the Kia Rio, leading to the accident.\n\nThe crash inflicted significant damage to the Ford F-150 and partial harm to the Kia Rio. Remarkably, the GNFS crew recovered valuable items worth GH¢50,000 (US$5,231.81), including mobile phones, power banks, and National Identification cards, from both vehicles. The organization has linked the incident to improper overtaking and is issuing a warning to drivers to follow traffic regulations and avoid accidents.",
