Four people have been tragically killed in a road crash involving a Toyota Voxy and a MAN Diesel trailer on the Accra-Kumasi Highway.
Reports suggest the crash occurred in the early hours of Monday, September 28, 2026, at Anyinasin Junction.
The information gathered disclosed that the Bunso Fire Station received a distress call at 5:21 a.m. and arrived at the scene at 5:35 a.m. with a seven-member crew.
The Bunso Firefighters rescued trapped victims, secured the scene and helped manage traffic.
Reports detailed that a Toyota Voxy, with registration number GR 9430-26, was completely wrecked in the crash, while the MAN Diesel trailer, registered GS 4064-26, was also damaged.
A male victim was rescued and transported to the Kibi Government Hospital for medical attention.
However, four other victims, three males and one female, were declared dead at the scene.
Meanwhile, some months ago, Abraham Amaliba, the Director-General of the National Road Safety Authority (NRSA), insisted that they will push ahead with plans to ban the use of Toyota Voxy vehicles for commercial activities.
According to Abraham Amaliba, despite mounting opposition from driver unions and sections of the public, they are not bothered as they plan to proceed with a ban on Toyota Voxy vehicles.
Speaking to Citi News on Thursday, April 9, 2026, Mr Amaliba explained, “The mandate is to ensure safety on our roads, reduce crashes, and ensure that we put in programmes that will also ensure that the crashes are reduced.
“So we are not bothered about anybody who thinks that regulations should not be implemented. We are a lawless country. We are so lawless that even if regulations are coming, we seem to be kicking against them.
“I have been sent here to do what is right, and I am going to do it as it is. I am not going to listen to people who are wrongdoers.”
His remarks follow: the Commercial transport operators in Ghana have rejected the decision by the National Road Safety Authority (NRSA) to prohibit the use of Toyota Voxy vehicles for commercial purposes.
According to Commercial transport operators in Ghana, the decision is poorly thought out and will damage their livelihoods.
In a statement issued on April 8, 2026, the Commercial Transport Operators stated, “The Commercial Transport Operators of Ghana view the National Road Safety Authority’s (NRSA) decision to ban the Toyota Voxy for commercial purposes as a lazy and ill-conceived approach to addressing road safety concerns. We strongly condemn this move and urge the NRSA to reconsider.
Rather than engaging in blanket bans, the NRSA should focus on educating drivers on road safety tips and organising seminars to enhance their skills.
The Toyota Voxy is a popular and reliable vehicle, widely used for commercial transport, and its ban will cause significant hardship for many families”.
They further demanded that the NRSA reconsider the ban and engage with stakeholders, develop targeted safety measures for high-risk areas, prioritise driver education and training and, Address root causes of accidents, such as poor road infrastructure.
The Commercial transport operators in Ghana statement follows the National Road Safety Authority (NRSA) declaration that Toyota Voxy vehicles being used for commercial transport in Ghana are operating illegally, citing both regulatory breaches and safety concerns.
