Accident: Two dead, eight injured in Komenda highway crash

According to the rescue team, one person was found dead at the scene, while another victim, who was trapped in the mangled vehicle, was extricated but later pronounced dead, bringing the death toll to two.

In an attempt to avoid a head-on collision with the overtaking vehicle, the Toyota Hiace, which was travelling from Cape Coast towards Takoradi, reportedly veered off its lane and crashed into a broken-down truck with registration number GN 2491-14.

The impact of the collision left one occupant trapped inside the commercial vehicle until fire officers arrived to carry out the rescue operation, while another occupant died instantly at the scene.
