Eight people sustained injuries in a road accident at Nananom Junction on the Accra-Cape Coast highway on Wednesday, with one victim trapped in a mangled vehicle.
A rescue team from the Mankessim Fire Station, led by ADO II B. Eduful, responded to the incident at 10:48 a.m. The crash involved a Sprinter Mini Bus, a Hyundai Hi Mini Cargo, and a Toyota Hiace.
Upon arriving at 10:50 a.m., the team worked to extricate the trapped victim, completing the rescue at 11:10 a.m. The other eight casualties had already been transported to the Mercy Women’s Catholic Hospital in Mankessim before the rescue team arrived.
The cause of the crash is under investigation, but the impact caused significant damage to the front sections of the vehicles and resulted in the loss of several cartons of fresh fish being transported at the time.
