MCE on his way back to Kumasi after a meeting in Accra
The Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) for Bibiani-Anhwiaso-Bekwai Mr. Alfred Amoah and his driver, Samuel Gyasi, died in a ghastly road accident on Tuesday, July 12, 2022.
According to information available to GhanaWeb, the incident happened at Sefwi Akaasu along the Accra-Kumasi Highway.
An eyewitness who spoke to GhanaWeb said the accident involved a trailer with a registration number AS 4229 X and the Nissan Patrol in which the MCE was travelling.
The trailer, coming from Kumasi to Accra is said to have lost control a few meters from the Birim river on the Accra-Kumasi highway after its axle broke in the middle of the road.
It subsequently crashed into the MCE's car, with registration number GC 2060-18, crashing the engine and the driver's part along with the seating area of the front passenger.
The MCE was reported to be on his way back to Kumasi from Accra where he and other appointees had met with the President earlier in the day.
