2023 African Games car conveying sports journalists involved in accident

A minivan transporting sports journalists from Accra to Cape Coast for the coverage of the 2023 African Games was involved in a road accident on Saturday, March 9, 2024.

The accident occurred in the afternoon as the team headed for the Women’s U-20 football tournament.

The incident was reportedly triggered by a malfunctioning traffic light, leading to a collision between the minivan and a pickup truck.

Fortunately, all journalists aboard were unhurt, according to reports. However, the minivan’s bumper was damaged.

After the accident, the journalists experienced a delay of nearly an hour before a new vehicle was provided to resume their journey to the Cape Coast Sports Stadium.

Despite the setback, the journalists managed to reach their destination and covered the match between Ghana’s U-20 women’s team, the Black Princesses, and Ethiopia.

The Black Princesses secured a 1-0 victory in their opening match of the tournament.

The journalists are safely back in Accra after watching the game in Cape Coast.
