ADO Nartey, an officer with the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS), confirmed that one body has been recovered, while efforts are ongoing to retrieve another trapped in the wreckage. The victims were reportedly traveling in an Artura vehicle.

A video shared on the GNFS Facebook page shows firefighters using specialized tools to cut through the charred remains of the vehicles, with smoke still rising from the scene. Among the deceased are two young women, whose bodies were burnt beyond recognition.
