The incident happened when a Pajaro four-wheel drive travelling from Techiman to Kumasi collided with a Sanyong Van which was heading for the opposite direction.

The impact of the crash caused the Pajaro to sink in flames, while the Sanyong passengers were trapped, despite attempts to deboard them.

A foreigner, who was the driver of the Pajaro died on the spot, while several others were rescued today after being trapped for several hours.

According to eyewitnesses, despite calls to alert the police last night, no personnel were present until this morning when the National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO) dispatched some rescue team.
