The Police vehicle driven by the Chief Inspector, left for Lambussie through Piina, Suke and Bugnuo on the Piina-Fermor road on patrols to check and prevent the road blockade.
The brief said when the team found out that the information was untrue, it was returning when at Bu near Nandom on the Nandom-Hamile Highway, their vehicle got involved in the accident.
The accident vehicle has been towed to the Nandom Police station.
This is about the third time in a month that some police officers have been involved in a car accident while on duty, with one turning out to be fatal.
