Two people have lost their lives, with five others sustaining injuries, following a gory road traffic accident at Third Ridge Junction, on the Accra–Cape Coast highway.
The incident occurred on Tuesday, April 28, 2026, at approximately 0700 hours.
Personnel from the Ghana National Fire Service, Cape Coast Regional Headquarters, responded promptly to the distress call.
Upon arrival, firefighters observed that the crash involved a Toyota Corolla with registration number GW-5769-16 and a HOWO tipper truck with registration number GN-1497-22.
The driver of the Toyota Corolla, who was trapped behind the steering wheel, was extricated by fire personnel but was unfortunately pronounced dead at the hospital.
According to eyewitness accounts, the Toyota Corolla was traveling from Cape Coast towards Accra when the driver noticed a pick-up vehicle dangerously overtaking and attempting to enter the lane of the oncoming HOWO tipper truck. In response, the Corolla driver slowed down.
The tipper truck, which was traveling in the opposite direction, reportedly veered into the outer lane to make way for the overtaking pick-up. However, in an attempt to return to its lane, the driver lost control and crashed into the Toyota Corolla.
All casualties were conveyed to the Cape Coast Teaching Hospital for medical attention and further management.
