    Three die in fatal accident on Kumasi highway

    Three persons are reported dead in a fatal accident on the Kumasi highway while several others have sustained serious injuries.

    A National Security Officer, Francis Patapaa, who witnessed the tragic accident, said a taxi cap traveling on the Accra side of the road collided with a minivan that was also traveling on the Kumasi side of the road at Nkwatan.

    ā€œThe minivan was trying to overtake another vehicle following which it collided head-on with the taxi cap which was then also traveling on top speed.

    ā€œDriver of the taxi cap and another passenger in the taxi died on the spot while one person died from the minibus,ā€ he narrated.

    Mr Patapaa added that several efforts to contact the police and ambulance service proved futile.

    ā€œIt took the intervention of a Member of Parliament to convey the injured to the hospital because several calls to both the police and ambulance service proved futile,ā€ he said.
