A motor rider has died in a fatal road traffic accident involving three vehicles on the Cape Coast–Takoradi Highway near the University of Cape Coast (UCC) stretch.
The crash occurred on Saturday, June 13, 2026, at about 16:48 hours in front of the Rashid Sumaila Washing Bay, along the busy highway.
The accident involved a Boxer motorcycle with registration number M-26-WR, a Toyota Corolla (CR 44-22), and a Daewoo Metro Mass bus (GS 5267-20).
Eyewitness accounts suggest the motorcycle collided with the side of the Toyota Corolla, causing the rider to fall onto the roadway. He was subsequently run over by the Metro Mass bus, leading to his instant death.
The identity of the deceased has not yet been made public.
Emergency responders later arrived at the scene to assist in managing traffic and clearing debris, allowing for the gradual restoration of vehicular movement along the route.
The police conveyed the body to the Cape Coast Teaching Hospital morgue for preservation and further investigation.
The motorcycle sustained extensive damage, while the Toyota Corolla also recorded damage to its side.
Investigations have been launched to establish the exact circumstances that led to the fatal crash.
