The Anyinam Fire Station received the distress call at 9:21 a.m. and dispatched a six-member rescue crew led by Leading Fireman Awuku Samuel, who reached the scene at 9:36 a.m.
When the rescue team arrived, the two cars, a Toyota Hiace (registration AS-4191-25) and a Honda Pilot (registration AS-8086-14), collided head-on and were found in the middle of the road
The driver of the Honda Pilot and a female passenger were found trapped inside the wreckage. The GNFS crew successfully extricated both victims and rushed them to Enyiresi Government Hospital, where they were pronounced dead on arrival.
Thirteen other victims, 12 males and one female, had been transported to the same hospital by bystanders before the rescue team's arrival. Their current conditions remain unknown.
According to eyewitness accounts, the Toyota Hiace, which was travelling from Nkawkaw to Accra, attempted a dangerous overtaking manoeuvre. The driver reportedly lost control of the vehicle, veered into the opposite lane, and crashed into the oncoming Honda Pilot.
The GNFS rescue team worked to clear the accident scene and restore normal traffic flow before returning to their base at 11:05 a.m.
