A serious accident involving three vehicles has blocked the Birimso section of the Accra-Kumasi N6 highway, causing significant traffic disruptions. The collision occurred today, August 3, 2026, and involved a high-occupancy passenger bus, a loaded articulated truck, and a sedan.

The pile-up has brought traffic to a standstill, prompting an immediate response from the Eastern South Regional Police MTTD team from Kibi. Officers are currently on the scene managing the situation and working to clear the wreckage.

To mitigate the impact on commuters, police have implemented temporary traffic diversions. Vehicles heading towards Accra are being rerouted through Kibi at Nsutam, while traffic bound for Kumasi is being diverted at Apedwa. Motorists are urged to cooperate with the officers directing traffic.

Authorities are working diligently to restore normal traffic flow as quickly as possible and have requested patience and cooperation from all road users during this time.

We entreat motorists and other road users to cooperate with the officers on the ground as they work to restore normal traffic flow.
