Four persons lost their lives in a tragic road traffic accident on Christmas Eve along the Cape Coast–Twifo Praso Road.

‎The Twifo Praso Fire Station on Wednesday, 24th December 2025, indicated to have received a distress call at about 4:48pm reporting a vehicular accident at Twifo Ntafrewaso, where a rescue team was immediately dispatched to the scene.

‎The team upon arrival, observed that a Hyundai Getz with registration number GW 7715-25, being used for commercial purposes, had veered off the road and crashed into a tree in a nearby bush while traveling from Twifo Mampong towards Twifo Praso. 

‎Three persons were found trapped in the wreckage vehicle but were extricated by the Fire Service rescue team and were transported to the hospital where they were pronounced dead. 

‎Prior to the arrival of the rescue team, one casualty had already been rescued by civilians and rushed to the Twifo Praso Government Hospital who was also confirmed dead. 

‎Eyewitnesses at the scene indicated that the driver was overspeeding while negotiating a curve on the rainy afternoon, causing the driver to lose control of the vehicle.

‎The vehicle was completely wrecked as a result of the impact. The incident has once again raised concerns about speeding and road safety, especially during festive periods when vehicular traffic is high.

‎Authorities have urged motorists to exercise caution, reduce speed, and adhere strictly to road safety regulations to prevent further loss of lives.
