Ghanaian musician Kuami Eugene, known for his award-winning performances, was involved in a car accident on Sunday night, March 18 2024, resulting in injuries
The incident took place at CP, near the DSTV office, heading towards the Dzowulu traffic light in Accra. Details about the artist’s destination remain unclear.
Emmanuel Ajarfor Abugri, the Editor for Modern Ghana news portal, witnessed the accident and reported that he was driving behind Kuami Eugene’s car when the collision occurred around 11:30 pm.
He informed the media that he realized the musician was in the car with a male passenger only when he approached to offer assistance.
“I was behind him, and so I was the first person to rush to his rescue. Kwame was struggling to come out so I brought him out of the car and helped the passenger too, before some guys also came around. I arranged for a vehicle to convey them to the UGMC hospital.”
He explained that the tipper truck was in motion but moving slowly when the musician crashed into it from behind.
He believes the accident occurred because the N1 highway is dark due to poor lighting, while the tipper truck also lacked tail light, thereby worsening visibility.
The male passenger did not appear to have any physical injury, but told nurses at the UGMC Hospital that he felt pains in his neck and back.
Ajarfor also says he called in police officers from the Achimota Police Station to the scene who towed his car.
According to him, the artiste appears to have broken his arm as a cut was visible with blood on his hands. He also had a cut on his lips, the leg and an injury in the hip.
“He’s fine. He had a broken arm with blood all over his hands. The car is badly damaged and all the airbags exploded. He could have died”he said.
The artiste was in a range rover with registration number, GC- 220-21.
