Mr Baffour-Awuah was reportedly injured in the crash and has been rushed to a hospital.
According to JoyNews sources, the Minister’s driver overtook a vehicle and in the process collided with an oncoming tipper truck.

This is the second accident involving politicians in less than six hours.
Already, the South Dayi MP, Rockson Dafeamekpor has also been involved in a road crash.
However, the legislator escaped unhurt.

Eyewitnesses say that a KIA truck loaded with concrete blocks ran into the MP’s vehicle, forcing the car to somersault twice.
