Two dead, five injured in crash on Accra–Cape Coast Highway
Two people have been killed and five others injured in a serious road accident at Third Ridge Junction on the Accra–Cape Coast Highway.
The crash occurred around 7:00 a.m. on Tuesday, April 28, 2026.
Firefighters from the Ghana National Fire Service in Cape Coast responded swiftly after receiving a distress call. On arrival, they found that the accident involved a Toyota Corolla (GW-5769-16) and a HOWO tipper truck (GN-1497-22).
The Corolla driver, who was trapped behind the steering wheel, was rescued by fire officers but later died at the hospital.
Eyewitnesses said the Corolla was travelling from Cape Coast towards Accra when the driver noticed a pick-up vehicle dangerously overtaking and attempting to enter the lane of the oncoming tipper truck. He reportedly slowed down in response.
The tipper truck, moving in the opposite direction, is said to have swerved into the outer lane to avoid the overtaking vehicle. However, while trying to return to its lane, the driver lost control and collided with the Corolla.
All victims were taken to the Cape Coast Teaching Hospital for treatment and further care.
