  "account": "Gomoa East's Education Directorate is grieving the loss of a 35-year-old teacher, Samuel Boateng, who perished in a tragic road accident at Gomoa Potsin Junction on the Kasoa-Winneba Highway. On Tuesday, November 3, 2026, the teacher, who worked at Nyanyano and was returning from promotional exams at the University of Education, Winneba, collided with a bus at the junction while merging onto the highway from a fuel station. Boateng, who sustained severe injuries, was taken to the Trauma and Specialist Hospital but succumbed to his wounds. The death has left his colleagues, family, and the teaching community in deep sorrow.\n\nIn response to the incident, Linda Abena Kwakyewaa, the Public Relations Officer of the Gomoa East Education Directorate, expressed the devastation felt by colleagues, family, and loved ones. She also appealed to drivers and other road users to exercise caution, avoid speeding, and remain vigilant, especially along the highway under construction. Concerns are mounting over the increasing number of accidents on the Kasoa-Winneba Highway, with teacher and Community Rapid Response Team leader, Mr Ebo Anderson, highlighting several incidents in recent times. These include vehicles striking pedestrians and motorcycles colliding with other vehicles. Anderson has also reported that two schoolchildren were struck down within a week, raising alarms about the safety of pupils who frequently cross the busy highway. In light of these concerns, Anderson has urged for the installation of temporary speed ramps at key points along the road to compel motorists to slow down, particularly in areas frequently used by schoolchildren.",
