One dead, 11 injured in Kintampo-Tamale highway crash
One person died and 11 were injured in a crash that was reported near Tafo, close to Kintampo in the Bono East Region. The crash involved a trailer truck transporting cement from Kumasi to Bolgatanga and a Toyota Hiace commercial minibus carrying 15 passengers, also travelling from Kumasi to Tamale. Eleven occupants - comprising 10 males and one female - sustained serious injuries and were rushed to the Accident and Emergency Unit of the Kintampo Municipal Hospital.
Emergency response teams from Kintampo and Jema, with support from Tuobodom, were dispatched to the scene. The victims suffered various forms of trauma, including head injuries, fractures and deep lacerations. Two critically injured persons were later referred to the Wenchi Methodist Hospital Trauma Centre for specialised treatment. Three others with minor injuries were also taken to hospital by other means.
Preliminary investigations by the Motor Traffic and Transport Department of the Ghana Police Service indicate that the minibus ran into a stationary trailer truck parked along the roadside near the Tafo Gaso Fuel Station. Authorities say the swift response by emergency teams helped minimise further fatalities, while investigations are ongoing.
