Five people have died following a head-on collision between a Toyota Hiace bus and a DAF truck on Saturday, December 20, at Ayensudo Meyinda on the Cape Coast–Takoradi Highway.
The circumstances leading to the accident are unclear; however, both the truck registered as GG 3227-25 and the bus with registration number GW 9373-22 were badly mangled.
The Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) swiftly responded to the scene, dispatching a rescue team from the Komenda Fire Station.
Firefighters carefully extricated the five deceased passengers trapped inside the Hiace bus and coordinated with supporting agencies to provide operational support, retrieve the victims, and clear the wreckage.
In addition to rescuing the victims, the team cleared debris from the roadway, restoring normal traffic flow and ensuring public safety.
The cause of the accident remains under investigation, while the coordinated response highlights the GNFS’s dedication to effective emergency management and public protection.
