Eight injured after Toyota Hiace somersaults on Tema–Akosombo highway

The crash occurred after the vehicle suffered a rear tyre burst, causing the driver to lose control before it somersaulted, according to the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS).

The incident adds to ongoing concerns about road safety on major highways, where vehicle maintenance issues, including tyre failures, contribute to serious crashes.

Eight people, including four children, have been injured after a Toyota Hiace passenger vehicle overturned on the Tema–Akosombo Highway at Teye-Kwame, in the Lower Manya Krobo Municipality of the Eastern Region.
