Vehicle plunges into river, injuring 5 and leaving one missing at Fetteh Kakraba

An accident on the Kasoa-Cape Coast Highway has left one person missing and five others injured.

The crash happened early Thursday morning when a Sprinter Bus, with registration GG 5639-19, skidded off the road and fell into a river at Fetteh Kakraba.

Reports from Adom News indicate that the incident was partly due to the negligence of Nag Fairmont Company, the contractor responsible for the bridge construction at Fetteh Kakraba.

The company had not covered the bridge or installed necessary safety signs, posing a significant danger to motorists.

Local residents and eyewitnesses have expressed frustration over the lack of safety measures and are urging Minister of Roads and Highways, Francis Asenso-Boakye, to take action against the contractor and ensure the implementation of safety protocols.

The injured individuals are receiving medical care at the Awutu Bereku Health Center.
