A lone driver has tragically lost his life following a heavy-duty vehicle accident at Kordzeto on Thursday afternoon.
The Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) Hohoe Command disclosed that it was alerted to the scene at approximately 3:09 PM.
Upon arrival, rescue teams found a trailer—loaded heavily with bags of cement—severely damaged, with the driver trapped inside the wreckage.
The firefighters said they successfully extricated the driver from the cabin; however, he was pronounced dead shortly after.
DOIII Bismark Hosu-Porbley, the Hohoe Municipal Commander, personally supervised the technical rescue operation.
A statement issued by the service noted that the rescue teams worked into the evening to mitigate secondary hazards, including clearing spilt cargo and neutralising potential fire risks on the roadway.
