On February 14, 2026, a female police officer was struck by a vehicle in Kumasi while she was overseeing traffic management. Reports indicate that the driver, suspected of being under the influence of alcohol, was operating a Toyota Corolla recklessly when the incident occurred.
Eyewitness accounts describe the chaotic scene at Patasi, where the driver lost control, leading to the car flipping over. Fortunately, details regarding the officer’s injuries and the condition of other individuals involved have yet to be confirmed.
Emergency services responded promptly, providing assistance to those affected by the crash. One local eyewitness recounted the events in Twi, emphasizing the unfortunate coincidence of the accident occurring on Valentine’s Day. He mentioned a previous incident at the same spot where another vehicle had caught fire after colliding with a stationary truck.
Authorities are currently conducting an investigation into the matter and have issued warnings to the public about the dangers of reckless driving, particularly when alcohol is involved. They urge all drivers to remain vigilant and responsible on the roads.
