One person has sustained serious injuries following another multi-vehicle crash on the Ofankor–Pokuase stretch of the Accra–Kumasi Highway.
The latest accident occurred on Wednesday, August 19, 2026, adding to growing concerns about road safety along the busy highway corridor. Several vehicles were reportedly involved in the collision, with some sustaining significant damage.
According to reports, the crash left at least one person injured. The injured individual was reportedly attended to following the incident, although further details about their condition were not immediately available.
The accident is the latest in a series of crashes recorded along the Ofankor–Pokuase section of the Accra–Kumasi Highway. The stretch carries a large volume of traffic each day and has frequently been the scene of road incidents.
Images from the latest crash showed damaged vehicles at the scene, highlighting the force of the collision. The circumstances leading to the crash were not immediately clear, and authorities are expected to investigate the incident to establish what caused the vehicles to collide.
The latest incident has renewed calls for motorists to exercise greater caution when using the highway. Drivers are encouraged to remain attentive, observe traffic regulations and adjust their speed according to road and traffic conditions.
The Ofankor–Pokuase corridor is an important transport route connecting communities within the Greater Accra Region to other parts of the country. Because of the heavy traffic it handles, accidents along the route can quickly cause congestion and disrupt the movement of commuters.
Residents and motorists who witnessed the incident are expected to provide information to authorities as investigations continue.
The crash also comes amid broader concerns over road safety in Ghana. Road accidents remain a major concern, particularly on busy highways where large numbers of private vehicles, commercial vehicles and other road users share limited space.
Emergency responders are often required to act quickly following such incidents to assist injured persons, secure accident scenes and prevent further collisions.
Although the latest crash resulted in serious injuries to one person, there were no reports of fatalities in the initial accounts.
Authorities have yet to release a detailed account of the events that led to the collision. It is therefore too early to determine whether factors such as speeding, driver error, mechanical failure, poor visibility or road conditions contributed to the accident.
The incident serves as another reminder of the importance of road safety and responsible driving, particularly on heavily trafficked routes such as the Accra–Kumasi Highway.
Motorists travelling through the Ofankor–Pokuase area are expected to remain cautious as the situation is assessed and damaged vehicles are dealt with.
Further details may emerge as authorities continue their investigations into the cause of the crash and the condition of the injured person.
For now, the incident has once again placed the Ofankor–Pokuase stretch in the spotlight and raised fresh concerns about the safety of motorists and passengers who use the route every day.
