A serious road traffic accident occurred on the under-construction Accra–Kumasi Bypass at Adasoase on Wednesday, January 7, 2026, when a Toyota Tacoma veered off course and slammed into an incomplete bridge.
The vehicle, which mistakenly entered the unfinished section of the roadway, sustained severe damage in the impact.
Firefighters from Anyinam Fire Station responded promptly, successfully extricating a trapped male passenger and handing him over to the National Ambulance Service for treatment.
A second individual had already been rescued by good Samaritans before emergency teams arrived.
Preliminary investigations point to overspeeding as a likely factor. The Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) has issued a warning to motorists, urging extra caution around construction zones to avoid similar tragedies.
The incident highlights ongoing safety concerns on the bypass project, with authorities calling for heightened vigilance amid heavy traffic on alternative routes.
