Several people escaped death but sustained varying degrees of injuries after a container truck collided with a fuel tanker and a taxi at Konongo Lady Diana on the Accra–Kumasi Highway.
The accident occurred on Saturday, June 13, 2026, and involved a KIA container truck, a fuel tanker and a commercial taxi.
Among those injured were the taxi driver, some passengers and the driver of the fuel tanker. The victims were rushed to Steward Hospital at Yawkwei for medical treatment.
Personnel from the Ghana National Fire Service, assisted by good Samaritans, carried out a rescue operation to free victims who were trapped in the mangled vehicles. Rescuers had to cut through parts of the taxi and the fuel tanker to extricate the injured occupants.
Fortunately, no deaths were recorded.
An eyewitness, Abdella Usman, narrated to Adom News that the KIA container truck, with registration number GN 1591-20, was travelling towards Kumasi when it reportedly suffered brake failure.
He explained that the fuel tanker was stationary on the roadside heading in the same direction, while the taxi was travelling towards Juaso when the truck crashed into both vehicles.
The impact of the collision caused extensive damage to the vehicles and temporarily disrupted traffic along the busy highway.
Authorities are expected to investigate the circumstances surrounding the accident.
