Five people have died following a head-on collision between a Toyota Hiace bus and a DAF truck on Saturday, December 20, at Ayensudo Meyinda on the Cape Coast–Takoradi Highway.
The circumstances surrounding the crash remain unclear, but both vehicles—the truck with registration GG 3227-25 and the bus GW 9373-22—were severely damaged.
The Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) responded promptly, dispatching a rescue team from the Komenda Fire Station. Firefighters extricated the five passengers trapped inside the Hiace bus and worked with supporting agencies to retrieve the victims and clear the wreckage.
In addition to rescuing the victims, the team removed debris from the roadway, restoring traffic flow and ensuring public safety.
The cause of the accident is under investigation, reports say.
