According to the information available, the accident involved a long trailer with the registration number GE 4871-X.
The trailer was transporting an excavator from Sefwi Akontombra to Sefwi Wiawso when it failed brakes and crashed into more than five stores on the roadside in the Sefwi Besibema community.
Seven people were trapped, and it took the intervention of community members to free them. Two young men died instantly when the excavator fell on them.

The Assembly Member for Besibema electoral area, Hon. Isaac Entsie, disclosed the losses that the incident has incurred on the community by destroying about five petty traders’ stores, their tarred road, and the high tension pole that supplies power from the transformer.
