Kumasi-Accra highway: Fire fighters deployed to reposition overturned tanker

Fire
service
personnel,
police
and
other
agencies
have
been
deployed
to
reposition
an
overturned
fuel
tanker
causing
traffic
since
Friday
morning
at
Fulanikrom.

A
Burkina
Faso
tanker,
loaded
with
fuel,
overturned
on
the
Kintampo-Kumasi/Accra
highway,
blocking
traffic
on
both
sides
of
the
road
since
Friday,
July
12,
2024.

Citi
News
understands
that
a
collision
involving
the
fuel
tanker
and
a
sedan
resulted
in
the
tanker
driver
losing
an
arm
and
the
sedan
driver
losing
both
legs.

According
to
some
passengers
who
updated
Citi
News
on
the
incident,
the
fire
service
personnel
are
spraying
water
on
the
leaking
tanker
to
prevent
an
explosion,
while
the
police
and
other
officers
present
tried
to
tow
the
vehicle
off
the
highway.

“They
are
spraying
enough
water
on
the
tanker
as
it’s
being
towed
since
the
fuel
is
leaking.
I
guess
it
has
helped
prevent
an
explosion,”
said
one
passenger.

The
stranded
passengers
hope
that
the
issue
is
resolved
soon
and
without
any
casualties.
