The Kwahu West Municipal Fire Commander, DO II Samuel Mante, has expressed concern over the alarming number of accidents occurring on the Accra-Nkawkaw-Kumasi highway.

Speaking to the media, Commander Mante revealed that within just one week, one person lost their life and more than 50 others sustained injuries in separate incidents along the stretch.

He urged motorists, particularly those driving at night, to exercise extreme caution to help curb the trend.

The Accra-Nkawkaw road has long been notorious for accidents, with contributing factors including poor road conditions, excessive speeding, driver fatigue, and poorly maintained vehicles.
