Three people are in critical condition after an articulator truck collided head-on with a Jeep 4×4 vehicle on the Berekum-Sampa road in the Bono Region.
The Ghana News Agency (GNA) gathered that the victims, who are yet to be identified, are receiving treatment at the Berekum Holy Family Hospital.
The crash occurred between 7:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. when the driver of the articulator truck, with registration number BA 1818-15, loaded with cashew nuts and traveling to Sampa, attempted to maneuver around a faulty tipper truck parked in the middle of the road.
In the process, the truck collided head-on with a Land Rover vehicle, with registration number GR 9547-14, which was coming from the opposite direction, according to Abdul Rahman Fuseini, the truck driver’s mate.
Mr. Joseph Nkrumah, the Berekum branch secretary of the Cargo Union under the Progressive Transport Owners Association of Ghana, told GNA that the road has since been cleared to facilitate the movement of vehicles.
