One person has died and two others have been rescued following a fatal road traffic accident at Breku Forest, near the Pra River, on the Accra–Kumasi Highway in the Ashanti Region.
The accident occurred on Sunday, 25th January 2026, when a Howo Sinotruk truck, loaded with cement, overturned, trapping three occupants.
A combined rescue team from the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) stations at Konongo–Odumase and Juaso, led by Sub Officer Siaw Richardson, was swiftly deployed to the scene.
Firefighters successfully extricated two injured victims, who were subsequently transported to the Juaso Government Hospital by the National Ambulance Service.
The body of the deceased victim was retrieved and handed over to the Police for further investigation, while the truck sustained extensive damage to its front section.
The cause of the accident is yet to be established, but investigations have been initiated by the relevant authorities.
