A swift intervention by the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) rescue team from the Konongo–Odumase Fire Command saved two passengers who were trapped in a road crash at Asankare in the Asante Akim South Municipality early Saturday morning.
The incident occurred around 4:59 a.m. on October 25, 2025, when a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter (GR 622-22) driven by Mr. Kudjo rammed into a stationary Honda tipper truck (GN 5723-14).
According to the GNFS, 17 passengers had already been rescued by bystanders before the arrival of the fire crew. However, two victims remained trapped inside the mangled Sprinter.
A search and rescue team led by LFM Siale Richard employed dashboard rolling and door removal techniques to safely extricate the victims. They were later conveyed to the Steward Hospital in Ambulance No. GV 589-20 for medical treatment.
The cause of the accident is yet to be determined.
The GNFS commended its Konongo–Odumase rescue team for their timely and professional response.
