Two people have been reported dead while five others sustained injuries after a fatal road accident at Third Ridge Junction along the Accra-Cape Coast Highway.
The incident occurred at about 7:00 a.m. on Tuesday, April 28, 2026, involving a Toyota Corolla with registration number (GW-5769-16) and a HOWO tipper truck with registration number (GN-1497-22).
According to the Ghana National Fire Service, personnel from the Cape Coast Regional Headquarters responded swiftly to the emergency scene after a distress call and found the driver of the Toyota Corolla trapped behind the steering wheel.
He was rescued and rushed to hospital but was later pronounced dead.
Eyewitnesses said the Corolla was travelling from Cape Coast towards Accra when its driver slowed down after spotting a pick-up vehicle dangerously overtaking and attempting to enter the lane of an oncoming tipper truck.
The tipper truck, which was heading in the opposite direction, reportedly veered off its lane to avoid a collision with the overtaking pick-up.
However, in attempting to return to its lane, the driver lost control and crashed into the Corolla.
All victims have been transported to the Cape Coast Teaching Hospital for treatment.
Authorities are yet to provide an update on the condition of the injured, while investigations into the cause of the crash are ongoing.
