A road traffic accident at Juaso Three-Lane, near NEXT BON Gas along the Kumasi-Accra Highway, has claimed three lives and left fifteen others injured.
The collision occurred on Monday, July 13, 2026, at approximately 9:39 a.m., involving a Shackman F3000 truck (registration GN9673-25) loaded with clinker and a Dongfeng Van (registration GM4002-26).
According to rescue officials, three persons, two males and one female, were pronounced dead at the scene. The remaining fifteen occupants sustained injuries of varying severity.
A joint rescue team from the Konongo-Odumase and Juaso Fire Stations responded to the emergency call and recovered the bodies of the deceased, which were handed over to the Juaso Police.

Investigations into the cause of the crash are ongoing.
