Six people sustained injuries following a head-on collision at Akyem Enyiresi on the Kumasi–Accra Highway, prompting a rapid emergency response from the Ghana National Fire Service.
Firefighters from the Anyinam Fire Station were dispatched to the scene near the WAPCO Filling Station after receiving a distress call about the crash.
The accident involved a Toyota Vitz travelling from Accra toward Kumasi and a Hyundai Santa Fe moving in the opposite direction.
Eyewitnesses said the Toyota Vitz veered off its lane, resulting in a direct collision with the oncoming vehicle.
A seven-member fire crew, led by Station Officer II Kubetew Alfred, arrived within minutes. However, by the time the team reached the scene, bystanders had already rescued the victims.
Six casualties — four men and two women — were transported to the Enyiresi Government Hospital for treatment.
Both vehicles suffered partial frontal damage from the impact.
Fire officers secured the accident scene, checked for fuel leaks and other hazards, and cleared the area before returning to base.
Authorities have not yet disclosed the condition of the injured persons as investigations into the cause of the crash continue.
