Firefighters from the Suhum Municipal Fire Station rescued a trapped driver after a HOWO tanker veered off the Accra–Kumasi Highway into the bush at Amanase in the early hours of Sunday, July 12, 2026.
According to a police report, a seven-member crew extricated the victim using rescue equipment and handed him over to the police before he was transported to the Suhum Government Hospital for treatment.
The tanker, which was travelling from Kumasi to Accra, is suspected to have veered off the road due to mechanical failure or human error.
No fatalities were recorded, but the vehicle sustained extensive front-end damage.
