A serious car crash occurred at the Ashaiman Overhead on Friday 24th October, 2025, leaving one person injured.
The accident involved a Toyota V8, registered as GN 76-16, and a commercial vehicle with registration number GS 3642-12.
According to eyewitnesses, an ambulance carrying a deceased person was speeding through heavy traffic with a police escort when the incident happened. The Toyota V8, also reportedly speeding, collided with the commercial vehicle and veered into a gutter.
The commercial vehicle’s driver, Frank Amoah, claimed he had stopped to let the ambulance pass when the Toyota V8 hit his car, injuring his mate who was rushed to the hospital.
