Three people are in critical condition, and 16 others sustained injuries after a collision involving a Toyota Hiace passenger vehicle and a Toyota Hilux at Ekumfi Abontsen on the Apam-Cape Coast Highway in the Central Region.

According to reports, the Toyota Hiace, with registration number GW 8094-24, collided with the Toyota Hilux, branded with the National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer and running mate, with registration GT 4704-09.
