  "account": "At the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) in Kumasi, a police pickup vehicle carrying seven suspected cannabis smokers collided with a commercial vehicle (trotro). The police vehicle, registration number GP 1035, was en route to the police station after making an arrest during a previous operation. Eyewitnesses reported that the police pickup was speeding with its siren on when it entered the intersection, despite the traffic light indicating green for the approaching commercial vehicle (trotro), registration number AS 37 55-22. The crash left several people injured, including some of the suspects, police officers, and passengers of the commercial vehicle. They were transported to KNUST Hospital for medical treatment. One police officer sustained serious injuries but was quickly brought to the hospital for emergency care. The collision caused traffic congestion on the KNUST campus. Further investigations into the cause of the accident are planned.",
