Two persons have reportedly been injured in a multiple-vehicle accident at Okponglo on the Legon-Madina road.
The incident is said to have occurred on Tuesday night.
This was after a tipper truck from Madina hit a Kia Rio saloon car that ran into a Kia Picanto and an Opel Hearse van that were travelling in the same direction.
