We regret to report that a police patrol team from the Nsawam Police District encountered an unfortunate accident while en route to Nsawam from Adeiso in the Eastern Region. The incident involved a Toyota pickup with registration number GP 3030, which experienced a mechanical fault at Uptown on the Adeiso-Nsawam road.
As a result of the accident, at least five individuals were sent to the Nsawam Government Hospital for treatment, while the vehicles involved were impounded for testing as part of ongoing police investigations.
According to a police incident report, "On 27/03/2024 about 1345hrs, C/Inspr. Rose Kyeremaa in-charge No. 46230 G/Sgt. George Boye, No. 35494 G/Cpl. Asare Akoto and No. 57945 G/Const. Bernard Dede Ofosu on board S/V. Toyota Pick-up no. GP 3030 driven by Issaka Yakubu all of the Nsawam Police District Day Patrols team were involved in a motor accident while driving from Adeiso direction to Nsawam."
The report further stated, "On reaching a section of the road at Uptown on Adeiso-Nsawam road, the police vehicle developed a mechanical fault and the suspect driver lost control of his vehicle, veered off his lane and ran into a Hyundai i10 taxicab with registration No. GG 4512-21 driven by suspect driver Felix Akuffo aged 30 with four (4) occupants on board from Nsawam to Adeiso direction."
This unfortunate incident comes in the wake of another accident earlier on the same day, where three police officers, two men and a woman, lost their lives. The officers were en route to operational duties when the tragic incident occurred.
Our thoughts are with all those affected by these distressing events, and we extend our deepest condolences to the families and colleagues of the officers who lost their lives in the line of duty. We urge all road users to prioritize safety and exercise caution while traveling to prevent such tragic occurrences in the future.
