Two feared dead; 28 rescued in accident at Kwashieman
An accident at Kwashieman reportedly claimed the lives of two people and at least 28 others were rescued by emergency response teams on Good Friday, April 3, 2026. The incident happened in the early hours when a Grand Bird bus travelling from Takoradi towards Sowutuom attempted to turn at the Kwashieman traffic light. At the same time, a truck loaded with onions was approaching the intersection from the Lapaz direction, heading towards the Kasoa stretch.

The bus was reportedly carrying passengers who were attending a convention.
