Accident at Akima Fisher on the Accra Kumasi Expressway in the Eastern Region.
A police report says Alfred Amoah was on board a Nisaan Patrol 4×4 GC2060-18 rally traveling from Accra towards Bibiani.
On arrival at the Akim Fisher section of the road on the Accra-Kumasi Expressway, Man Diesel Articulated Truck No. AS 4229-X from Kumasi direction veered off its lane and collided head-on with a Nissan Patrol 4×4.
The MCE and his driver were trapped in the vehicle and both died on the spot.
With the help of the National Fire Service from Bunso and Kibi, the bodies of the deceased were removed and sent to Kibi Government Hospital where they were certified by the doctor on duty.
Their bodies were stored in the morgue for preservation, identification and autopsy.
Tanker Man Diesel Fuel No. GN 8540-20 driven by Habibu Adam aged 35 with an empty tank from the direction of Kumasi, when he saw the danger ahead, applied the brakes to avoid the crash. In doing so, he lost control of the wheel, veered out of his lane and landed in a ditch offside towards Accra.
Police are working to tow the crashed vehicles from the scene and secure the arrest of the Articulator truck driver, who is currently at large.
