Three police officers have been confirmed dead in a fatal accident on Wednesday, March 27, 2024, at Kyekyewere along the Accra-Kumasi Highway.
The accident occurred while the officers were on their way for police operational duties.
Information gathered indicates that the police officers were in a convoy heading towards Kwahu to ensure peace and security ahead of the Kwahu Easter celebrations.
Unfortunately, when the white Formed Police Unit (FPU) van reached Kyekyewere, one of its tyres burst, causing the vehicle to somersault and land in a ditch.
The force of the accident resulted in the doors of the vehicle coming off, leading to the ejection of the three officers.
