A team of communicators of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) on Sunday survived a near fatal road accident while returning to Assin Breku from a campaign event at Bedi Adua, in the Assin North constituency.
According to a reliable source, the incident occurred when the driver of the Mitsubishi pickup vehicle they were travelling in, suddenly lost control in a sharp curve.
The occupants were the Deputy National Director of Communication, George Krobea Asante; Effutu Constituency Communication Officer, Ellis Otabil and a member of the Central Regional Communication team, Mr. Francis Nketsiah.
The car, according to information gathered by the paper, somersaulted before it landed on its side and trapped all the occupants.
The Effutu Constituency Communication Officer, Ellis Otabil, who confirmed the incident to The Chronicle, indicated that it took the timely intervention of another team to rescue them.
“Director of communication, Richard Ahiagbah and Central Regional communication Director, Mr. Isaac Mensah who heard of the incident came to our rescue and got us out of the car,” he said.
“Thank God none of us suffered any major or open cut injuries, so they quickly rushed us to the St Francis Hospital at Assin Foso, where we were treated and discharged at about 10pm the same day,” he added.
Heavy weights of the NPP have stormed the Assin North constituency to campaign for the party, ahead of the June 27, 2023 by-election to find a replacement for Mr James Gyakye Quayson.
