Eyewitnesses reported that the Toyota Corolla, with registration number GN 5838-20, was attempting to overtake another vehicle when it collided with an Opel Astra A, bearing the registration number GE 1269-13. Subsequently, another Opel Astra A, with registration number AS 9643-13, struck the first taxi, causing damage to all three vehicles.\n\nAssembly Member Ofori Apronti, representing the area, highlighted the issue of overloaded taxis, which could impede drivers' ability to maneuver swiftly during emergencies. He urged commercial drivers to prioritize road safety and exercise caution. One of the drivers, involved in the crash, was among those in critical condition, while the other six injured individuals were receiving treatment at the Sege Polyclinic.\n\nPastor Sampson Agbemabiase of the Assemblies of God Church in Sege, who witnessed the incident, alleged that the driver of the Toyota Corolla was speeding and overtaking dangerously. He stated that his car could have been involved had he not swerved to avoid the Corolla.
