A devastating accident occurred on the Assin Andoe-Besease Road on Thursday, July 25, 2024, claiming the lives of two individuals and leaving another in critical condition.
The incident took place at approximately 7:30 pm, involving a Hoajin Motorbike carrying three passengers: 32-year-old Michael Eduah, a Community Police Assistant, and pillion riders Jones Oppong, 30, and Festus Darko, 26.
The motorbike was traveling from Assin Andoe towards Assin Besease when it swerved to avoid a pothole and collided with a parked, broken-down Howo Dump Truck (registration number GN 7338-22) near Assin-Besease.
Eyewitnesses reported that the motorbike was traveling without a headlight, which may have contributed to the accident. Michael Eduah, the rider, tragically died at the scene.

Festus Darko remains in critical condition and is receiving treatment.
