The crash according to information reaching Angelonline.com.gh, occurred at about 5 pm on Wednesday, August 24, 2022.
The deceased, Dr Patrick Yamoah, a gynecologists’ cum lecturer at the Cape Coast Medical School, was travelling from Assin-Fosu towards Kumasi when the incident occurred.
His Nissan Versa car with registration number AW 1514 – 22, collided head-on with a petrol tanker with registration number GT 8679 – 22.
The tanker was travelling from Wassa Akropong heading towards Assin-Fosu.
According to eyewitnesses, the tanker driver was driving carelessly and “he nearly killed a pragyia [auto rickshaw] rider at Asokwa Junction, so we are not surprised about the accident”.

He left the hospital about 3 pm for Kumasi only to be involved in the crash and die instantly.
