The tragic tragedy occurred around 2:30 PM on Monday, July 28, 2025, on the Juaso portion of the Accra-Kumasi highway, when a Ford Transit mini-bus conveying the youth collided head-on with a fuel tanker.

Eyewitnesses reported that the tanker driver lost control while overtaking another vehicle. The crash ruined the bus altogether. Several bodies were trapped, necessitating the assistance of emergency services and residents, who struggled for hours to extract the deceased from the ruins.
