Truck carrying rice, maize crashes into van at Magazine Junction

An articulated truck with the registration number GX 3443 – 21, believed to be traveling from Togo to Kumasi, was involved in an accident at the Bribrong LPG filling station near Koforidua Magazine junction in the New Juaben South Municipality of the Eastern Region at approximately 7:20 am yesterday.

The truck was reportedly carrying a load of beans, rice, maize, sugar, and second-hand clothes.

While navigating a sharp curve at a slow speed to avoid mud, the truck toppled onto an empty passenger vehicle with the registration number ER 792-X that was parked at the filling station. Fortunately, no casualties were reported.

Some road users attributed the accident to the wet clay used in the ongoing road construction and the delay in completing the project.

An eyewitness, Alex Efum, reported that the Ghana Police Service and the Ghana National Fire Service responded promptly to the scene to safeguard lives and property.

He noted that the security agencies, with assistance from other agencies, managed to lift the truck off the passenger vehicle.
