A rescue team from the Kpong Fire Station responded swiftly to a distress call and used heavy-duty extrication equipment to free the victim. He was immediately handed over to the National Ambulance Service and rushed to the Akuse Government Hospital for treatment.
The incident drew dozens of motorists and residents, who gathered as emergency workers battled to save the driver. Fortunately, no additional casualties were recorded.
Police have since launched an investigation into the cause of the crash, while the wreckage was later towed to restore traffic flow on the busy highway.
