Following their return from the burial of late Ejisu MP John Kumah, President Akufo-Addo’s convoy was involved in an accident at Bunso Junction in the Eastern Region, resulting in the reported death of one person and serious injuries to others.

Sources indicate that the collision happened when a KIA truck drove into the fast-moving convoy.

It is said that the deceased, who is known as Kwesi Arthur, worked as a driver at Jubilee House.

When the event happened, President Akufo-Addo was not in the convoy.

“Additionally, several close protection and police officers from the President’s security detail sustained varying degrees of injuries and received initial treatment at the Suhum Government Hospital. The injured persons are currently being evacuated to the University of Ghana Medical Centre for further treatment and observation,” the May 19 statement revealed.
