Fuel tanker, kia frontier collide head-on at Fianko
Two people sustained injuries following a head-on collision involving a fuel tanker and a Kia Frontier at Fianko, Family Village, in the Suhum Municipality of the Eastern Region on Wednesday, July 22. The Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) said the Suhum Municipal Fire Station responded to the emergency after receiving a distress call at approximately 5:41 p.m. The collision involved a DAF fuel tanker transporting an estimated 54,000 litres of fuel and a Kia Frontier light truck.
Firefighters arrived promptly and confirmed no individuals were entrapped in either vehicle. Preliminary findings suggest the Kia Frontier allegedly lost control of its steering, veered into the opposite lane, and collided head-on with the oncoming fuel tanker. The impact caused extensive damage to both vehicles. Two male casualties were recorded. Firefighters secured the scene to minimize the risk of fire or explosion and implemented necessary safety measures before handing over the scene for subsequent recovery and clearance operations. The cause of the collision remains under investigation.
