Officers of the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) last Friday managed to rescue an individual who was trapped in a mangled Sprinter that was involved in an accident on the Accra-Cape Coast highway at Gomoa Antseadze.
The incident involved an Accra-bound Mercedes-Benz Sprinter (GX 9417-21) colliding with a stationary Actros-Benz Truck (GM 2321-21).
Upon reaching the scene, a crew from the Mankessim Fire Station in the Mfantsiman Municipality observed a trapped individual in the damaged Sprinter.
The rescuers successfully extricated the victim and promptly transported them to the Apam Government Hospital, the GNFS noted in a Facebook post.
With a total of 14 victims, some self-rescued or aided by passersby, the Mankessim Fire Station’s rapid intervention played a crucial role in mitigating any fatalities by the crash.
The cause of the accident, which resulted in significant damage to both vehicles, remains unknown.
