C/R: Four Perish in Christmas Eve Accident
Four people have died following a road traffic accident along the Cape Coast–Twifo Praso Road at Twifo Ntafrewaso.
The accident, involving a Hyundai Getz taxi with registration number GW 7715-25 travelling from Twifo Mampong towards Twifo Praso, happened on Christmas Eve.
According to a report by the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS), the taxi was speeding when it veered off the road and crashed into a tree.
Three of the occupants trapped in the wreckage were extricated by the firefighters and rushed to the hospital.
They were, however, pronounced dead on arrival, while a fourth casualty, earlier rescued by civilians, also died at the Twifo Praso Government Hospital.
“Eyewitnesses attributed the crash to overspeeding on a curve amid rainy conditions. The affected vehicle was completely wrecked.”
The GNFS admonished motorists to avoid overspeeding on curves and to strictly observe road safety regulations.
