Kumawood star Kwadwo Nkansah, popularly known as ‘Lilwin’, has expressed his gratitude to God for surviving a harrowing car accident while en route to the premiere of the movie ‘A Country Called Ghana’ in Kumasi on Saturday.
Making his first public statement about the accident during the movie premiere, Lilwin appeared with a white bandage covering his forehead, where he sustained injuries.
Addressing the audience, he mentioned being advised to stay home but felt compelled to attend the event due to the presence and efforts of local chiefs and others who had gathered.
Lilwin attributed his survival solely to the grace of God and extended his thanks to all who supported him during the ordeal.
Before the premiere of his movie ‘A Country Called Ghana’, Lilwin and others were injured in a head-on car collision just hours earlier.
The crash happened on Saturday morning in Amakom, a Kumasi suburb located in the Ashanti region.
Witnesses reported that the actor was driving rapidly from the Amakom intersection towards the WAEC area when he suddenly swerved into the opposite lane.
According to eyewitnesses speaking to JoyNews, Lilwin’s vehicle collided head-on with a private family car carrying a father and his four-year-old child, who sustained severe head injuries and was unresponsive.
Lilwin and his two passengers also suffered head injuries in the accident, which left both vehicles severely damaged.
Another victim mentioned her car lights were shattered by the speeding vehicle.
