Two Dead, One Injured In Motorbike Crash At Assin Fosu, MTTD Launches Investigation.
Two persons have been confirmed dead while another is receiving treatment following a motorbike crash at Assin Fosu in the Central Region.
The incident occurred at about 3:35 a.m. on Saturday, March 7, 2026, near Finest Pub along the Cape Coast–Kumasi highway.
According to the Central North Regional Motor Traffic and Transport Department (MTTD) of the Ghana Police Service, suspect rider Solomon Nyame, 25, was riding an unregistered Royal motorbike with a pillion rider, Patience Pamful, 23, from the Assin Juaso direction towards Assin Fosu at top speed.
The Central North Regional MTTD Commander, ASP Wonder Lumor, explained that upon reaching a section of the road near Finest Pub, the rider allegedly spotted another motorbike from the opposite direction attempting to turn into a junction leading to the pub.
“In the process, the rider failed to exercise due care and attention, rode into the opposite lane and crashed into another unregistered Royal motorbike being ridden by Daniel Agyeko, aged 19,” ASP Lumor stated.
He noted that the impact of the collision threw the two motorbikes, including the riders and the pillion rider, onto the roadside pavement.
All three victims sustained various degrees of injury and were rushed to St. Francis Xavier Hospital for treatment.
However, medical officers at the hospital later informed the police that rider Daniel Agyeko and the pillion rider, Patience Pamful, were pronounced dead on admission, while Solomon Nyame was admitted and is currently receiving treatment.
ASP Lumor added that the bodies of the deceased have been deposited at the hospital’s morgue for preservation and autopsy.
He further disclosed that none of the motorbikes involved in the crash were found at the accident scene.
The Central North Regional MTTD has since commenced investigations into the incident.
Meanwhile, ASP Wonder Lumor urged commercial motorcycle operators, popularly known as “okada” riders, to exercise extreme caution on the roads, strictly adhere to traffic regulations, and prioritize safety at all times.
He explained that the caution has become necessary due to the rising number of motorcycle-related accidents, fatalities in parts of the region.
ASP Lumor emphasized that responsible riding and strict compliance with road traffic laws would significantly reduce road crashes and help protect lives and property.
