The victims were responding to a distress call when the accident happened on Sunday.
Speaking to Adom News, the Ashanti Regional Fire Commander, Assistant Chief Fire Officer, Harry Giwah, said the accident happened when the driver attempted to stop abruptly after spotting an ongoing bridge construction on the road.

The development resulted in the injury of the personnel onboard.
He expressed worry over why the engineer and his team did not position any road sign to alert drivers.
