At least eleven people sustained injuries after two vehicles crashed head-on at Eduadjei along the Cape Coast–Takoradi Highway on Tuesday evening.

According to the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS), the accident occurred shortly after 7:15 p.m., triggering an emergency response from firefighters stationed at the Komenda Fire Station.

When rescue teams arrived at the scene, they found that an Opel Astra travelling from Cape Coast toward Komenda had collided head-on with a Nissan minibus heading in the opposite direction.

Ten passengers in the minibus were reportedly rescued from the damaged vehicle with assistance from nearby residents and rushed to the Elmina Poly Clinic for treatment.

The driver of the Opel Astra, however, was trapped inside his vehicle and had to be freed by firefighters before also being transported to the same health facility.

The injured victims included nine men and two women.

Following the rescue operation, firefighters cleared debris from the road to help ease heavy traffic that had built up after the crash.

Authorities say investigations are underway to establish the exact circumstances that led to the collision.
