Young Ghanaian, Frank Asamoah, has shared a chilling account of how he lost his sight in a devastating car accident and was mistakenly declared dead.
In an emotional interview with Zionfelix, shared on social media on May 24, 2025, Frank revealed how his dream of becoming a doctor was abruptly cut short after the accident, which also claimed the lives of several others.
Frank, then a Level 100 student at the College of Health and Well-Being in Kintampo, explained that the accident occurred after he had gone home to collect foodstuffs and a document needed for his school registration.
“My provisions had finished, so I had to return home for some. I also needed a document to attach to some files for my registration. After getting home, I decided to buy groceries for school that evening, because the journey from Kumasi to Kintampo takes about three hours, and I needed to set off at dawn,” he recounted.
“After buying the groceries, I had an accident on my way back. I didn’t see anything again. According to what my mother and eyewitnesses told me, the vehicle I was in collided with a truck. I was also told that the driver’s head was severed instantly.”
Frank went on to describe the horrifying condition of the other passengers involved.
“The head of the passenger next to me was crushed like a sardine tin. Another passenger, who was sitting in the back seat, suffered a spinal cord injury. My eyes were plucked out. Part of my brain was damaged, I lost several teeth, and the bone in my right arm was exposed,” he said.
Even more shocking was the revelation that doctors at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital declared Frank dead upon his arrival.
“I was taken to Komfo Anokye Hospital and pronounced dead. My body was prepared and taken to the mortuary,” he said.
It was only after a mortuary attendant noticed movement that his case took a miraculous turn.
“The mortuary personnel returned to tell the doctors that I was still alive — they had observed body movements,” he added.
Frank also recounted being unconscious for an entire month.
“I was unconscious for a month. When I regained consciousness, I asked my mother if I had written my exams in school. She only told me I had malaria and was in the hospital. It was much later that I came to understand the extent of the damage I had suffered.”
