A twelve-year-old identified as Angelina Stickings, who lost both legs and her father in the Ofankor-Pokuase road crash, is appealing for support.
The twelve-year-old is appealing for help to recover, regain mobility and return to school.
According to Angelina Stickings, she is suffering at the Greater Accra Regional Hospital.
In an emotional appeal, the 12-year-old called for help as she continues to endure pain at the hospital.
“I need you guys to help me. Right now my stomach is paining me… I am suffering in this hospital. You guys need to help us.”
John Stickings, the brother of the 12-year-old, also revealed that the family has been overwhelmed by the cost of her treatment.
He disclosed that about GH¢200 million has been spent on Angelina’s medical care, adding that the family is now raising funds for prosthetic limbs to help her walk again.
“We are preparing to do the leg, because sometimes she complains that she wants to go to school again. We need the government to support us. Any support to make my sister walk again.”
Meanwhile, Felix Owusu, the National Road Safety Authority’s Senior Planning Manager at the Greater Accra Office, has disclosed that the police investigations into the crash are still ongoing.
According to Felix Owusu, the driver of the tipper truck believed to have caused the crash initially fled the scene but has since been arrested and is assisting with investigations.
In related news, the GNFS has updated the numbers, revealing that eleven people died in the crash, while thirteen people have been injured and are receiving care at hospitals.
Earlier, reports suggested ten people were feared dead, with about seven unconscious after a tipper truck collided with a Sprinter bus at the Ofankor Barrier on the Accra–Kumasi Highway.
According to reports, the tragic accident happened in the early hours of Thursday, August 13, 2026.
Reports suggest the Sprinter bus was badly mangled, trapping several passengers inside and triggering a major rescue operation at the scene.
ADO1 Alex King Nartey of the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS), speaking on TV3 New Day, disclosed that ten bodies were found dead, with about seven unconscious.
The seriousness of the crash has required extensive rescue efforts, with emergency responders working to evacuate injured victims for medical attention.
Reports suggest one female victim, whose legs were reportedly severed in the crash, was transported from the scene by ambulance.
The GNFS described the situation as volatile as its officers worked to bring the rescue operation under control and safely extricate victims from the wreckage.
The accident has since disrupted traffic on the stretch of the highway, with the main road temporarily curtailed to allow emergency responders to operate.
Also, the GNFS has urged motorists travelling from Pokuase and Amasaman towards Ofankor and Accra to use the outer lane and exercise extreme caution when approaching the area.
