Four, including baby injured in multi-vehicle crash at Sofoline flyover
Four people, including a one-and-a-half-year-old baby, have sustained serious injuries following a three-vehicle crash at the Sofoline Interchange flyover in Kumasi.
The accident occurred on Tuesday morning and involved a mini-bus commercial transport, a Toyota Corolla and a motorised tricycle, popularly known as Pragia.
“While descending the flyover, I stepped on the brake and realised it had failed. I tried my best to control the vehicle but unfortunately could not,” Mr. Boahen recounted.
The bus, however, after losing control, sped down the slope and crashed into the Toyota Corolla and the Pragia ahead of it.
The impact left all three vehicles badly damaged.
The injured persons were rushed to a nearby Suntreso government hospital for emergency medical attention by passersby and other motorists.
The crash caused a temporary gridlock on the busy Sofoline-Abuakwa stretch as the wreckage blocked part of the road.
Personnel from the Police Motor Traffic and Transport Department (MTTD) later arrived at the scene to control traffic and tow the accident vehicles to allow for free flow of traffic.
Police have commenced investigations into the incident.
