Personnel from the Sekondi Metro Fire Station swiftly responded to a road accident on the Kumasi-Shama road in the early hours of Saturday, July 12, 2025.
A seven-member rescue team, led by Assistant Divisional Officer I (ADO1) Kingsley Anane, was dispatched to the scene.
The accident involved a Nissan Howo truck with registration number GW 4382-19 and a KIA Rhino with registration number AS 9228-14.
In a statement, the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) reported that upon arrival, the team found the KIA Rhino pinned under the Nissan Howo, with one person trapped inside.
Using a hydraulic spreader, the crew created enough space for a successful extrication. The trapped individual was rescued and handed over to the police for further care.

The extrication was completed by 05:35 hours.
An investigation is currently underway to determine the cause of the accident. The condition of the rescued victim remains unknown at this time.
The GNFS has since urged all drivers to exercise extra caution, particularly during early morning hours when visibility is poor and alertness may be reduced.
