A female Police officer has reportedly been knocked down by an alleged drunk driver while she was directing traffic.
Reports suggest the incident occurred on February 14, 2026, at Patasi in Kumasi, where the Police officer was directing traffic at a scene of an earlier traffic accident.
It is yet to be known the exact extent of injuries sustained by the officer.
The news posted by EDHUB on X stated, “A Toyota Corolla has reportedly knocked down a police officer who was directing traffic at the scene of an earlier accident at Patasi in Kumasi.
Unconfirmed reports indicate that the driver was allegedly driving under the influence of alcohol”.
A narrator who was speaking in the video describing the incident in Twi stated, “This is the car. Today is Valentine’s Day. He went to intoxicate himself and used his car to knock down a female police officer directing traffic on the road. It happened this evening.
This articulator broke down and was on the road when another car rammed into it and burned. And now this accident too, the car has somersaulted.”
In related news, a video has surfaced on social media capturing an accident victim pleading for help following a crash on the Accra-Kumasi highway.
Reports suggest the accident occurred after a broken-down vehicle was left on the road without being towed away.
Another car rammed into the stationary vehicle, resulting in a heavy collision.
In the viral footage shared on social media, the victim, who was trapped inside one of the crash vehicles, was heard crying out, appealing to bystanders who came to the scene to take videos.
“Bossu, help me. The video is not important,” the victim is heard saying.
The bystander taking the video then stated, “We have called the fire service, they are coming, so be patient, the towing car is coming, so we can remove you”.
Meanwhile, still on the road accident news, one person has died, with 16 others sustaining injuries in a road accident on the Peki–Asikuma highway near Mawutor Inn.
Reports suggest the accident occurred when a Toyota Hiace bus (registration GT 7012-24) reportedly suffered a rear tyre burst, causing it to somersault.
