One person has died, while another is receiving treatment for multiple injuries following a road crash at Atwedie on the Juaso–Konongo highway in the Ashanti Region.
The accident occurred around 2:00 p.m. on Friday, December 26.
Eyewitnesses narrated to Adom News that a pickup vehicle belonging to the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG), with registration number GN 410-17, was travelling from Konongo towards Accra when it reportedly veered off its lane at Atwedie.
In the process, the pickup collided with a Hyundai vehicle, registration number CR 623-14, which was conveying passengers from Asante Akyem Adomfe to Konongo.
The impact caused the Hyundai car to crash, while the pickup reportedly ended up off the road within the Atwedie township.
One passenger was pronounced dead at the scene, while another sustained serious injuries and was rushed to the hospital for treatment. Some other injured persons were treated and later discharged.
The body of the deceased has been deposited at the Juaso Government Hospital morgue, as police begin investigations into the circumstances surrounding the crash.
Road safety experts continue to urge motorists to adhere strictly to speed limits and traffic regulations to help reduce accidents on major highways.
