The Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) has rescued 26 passengers following a multiple-vehicle accident near the Kintampo Waterfalls in the Bono East Region.

Three of the victims sustained injuries and were promptly transported to the Kintampo Municipal Hospital for medical attention.

The Service stated that it received a distress call at approximately 3:59 p.m. on Wednesday, December 24, 2025, and immediately dispatched a rescue team, which arrived at the scene at around 5:24 p.m.

Upon arrival, firefighters found a series of collisions involving several vehicles, including a Mercedes Sprinter that had rammed into parked cars and subsequently caught fire.

The incident, which occurred on Wednesday, took place while efforts were underway to tow a Kia Bongo vehicle that had fallen into a pit three days earlier.

The GNFS said 26 passengers were trapped at the scene and were successfully rescued by its personnel.

The Fire Service said the swift response of its crew helped to prevent further casualties, while investigations into the cause of the accident are ongoing.
