Sixteen Survivors Pulled From Wreckage in Nyamebekyere Highway Crash
A swift response from the Bechem Fire Station in the early hours of Tuesday, November 18, 2025, helped save sixteen passengers after a serious head-on collision on the Sunyani–Kumasi highway.
The accident, which occurred around 5:38 a.m. at Nyamebekyere, involved a Ford Transit (AS 7172-23) and a Kia Rhino (AS 3058-X). An eight-member rescue team led by STNO II Simon Yeboah arrived promptly to extricate all occupants—fourteen (14) from the Ford Transit and two (2) aboard the Kia Rhino.
The injured were rushed to the Bechem Government Hospital and PISGAH Advanced Medical Center for medical attention. Despite the severity of the crash, no lives were lost, though both vehicles suffered extensive damage.
Authorities say investigations are underway to determine the cause of the collision.
