A pile-up involving a passenger bus, a loaded articulated truck and a saloon car has completely blocked the N6 Highway at Birimso Bridge, disrupting traffic between Accra and Kumasi.
According to a Facebook post by the Ghana Police Service, the incident occurred on Monday, August 3, 2026, bringing traffic on the busy highway to a standstill as vehicles travelling in both directions were unable to pass through the affected section.
The collision involved a high-occupancy passenger bus, a fully loaded articulated truck and a saloon car. However, details regarding the cause of the crash and whether there were any casualties were not immediately available.
The Eastern South Regional Police Motor Traffic and Transport Department (MTTD) team from Kibi has been deployed to the scene to manage the situation and help restore traffic flow along the highway.
To reduce congestion, the police have introduced temporary diversions to enable motorists to continue their journeys.
According to the police, vehicles travelling towards Accra are being diverted through Kibi at Nsutam, while those heading towards Kumasi are being rerouted through Apedwa.
Motorists and other road users have been urged to cooperate with police officers stationed along the diversion routes as emergency response teams work to clear the scene and restore normal movement.
The N6 Highway, which links Accra and Kumasi, is one of Ghana’s busiest transport corridors and serves as a vital route for both passenger and commercial traffic between the southern and central parts of the country.
Authorities have advised motorists using the highway to remain patient, obey police directives and exercise caution while approaching the affected area.
