A serious road crash involving a passenger bus, a fully loaded articulated truck, and a sedan has completely blocked the N6 Highway at Birimso Bridge, disrupting traffic between Accra and Kumasi. According to a post shared by the Ghana Police Service on Facebook, the incident occurred on Monday, August 3, 2026, resulting in a standstill for vehicles travelling in both directions, which cannot pass through the affected area.
Although details about casualties and the cause of the collision are not yet available, the Eastern South Regional Police Motor Traffic and Transport Department (MTTD) team from Kibi has been deployed to the scene to manage the situation and restore traffic movement along the highway.
In response to the blockage, the police have introduced temporary diversions to ease congestion and allow motorists to continue their journeys. Motorists and other road users have been urged to cooperate with officers stationed along the route as emergency teams work to clear the scene and return traffic flow to normal.
The N6 Highway, which connects Accra and Kumasi, is one of Ghana’s busiest transport routes, serving as a key link for passenger and commercial traffic between the southern and central parts of the country. Authorities have advised drivers using the route to exercise patience, follow police instructions and approach the affected area with caution.
