  "account": "A police pickup vehicle transporting suspected cannabis smokers crashed into a commercial car, the trotro, on the campus of the KNUST university in Kumasi. The accident happened at the traffic light leading to Ayeduase. The police vehicle, GP 1035, was transporting seven suspected cannabis smokers after their arrest during an operation. It collided with a trotro, AS 37 55-22, while crossing the intersection. Eyewitnesses claim the police vehicle was speeding with its siren on, while the green light was on for the trotro. The collision resulted in injuries for several individuals, including some of the suspected cannabis smokers, police officers, and passengers on the trotro. These injured persons were taken to KNUST Hospital for medical care. One police officer was seriously injured and collapsed at the scene but was swiftly transported to the hospital. The crash led to heavy traffic on the KNUST campus, but other police officers eventually cleared the vehicles to alleviate the situation.",
