Road accident on the Accra-Kumasi (N6) highway

A multi-vehicle collision involving a high-occupancy passenger bus, a loaded articulated truck and a sedan has caused a complete blockage of the N6 Highway at Birimso Bridge, disrupting traffic in both the Accra and Kumasi directions.

‎The Ghana Police Service said the crash occurred on 3 August 2026, prompting officers from the Eastern South Regional Motor Traffic and Transport Department (MTTD) based in Kibi to respond to the scene.

‎‎To ease congestion, police have temporarily diverted Accra-bound vehicles through Kibi at Nsutam, while motorists travelling towards Kumasi are being redirected at Apedwa.

‎‎The diversions will remain in place as officers work to clear the accident scene and restore normal traffic flow on the busy Accra-Kumasi highway.

‎The Police have appealed to motorists and other road users to cooperate with officers managing traffic and to comply with the temporary diversion arrangements.

‎‎The cause of the crash and any casualties were not immediately disclosed.
