Police dispatch rider hospitalised after collision while escorting VIPs in Kumasi

Eyewitnesses said the police officer sustained injuries, while the occupants of the salon car were unharmed.

An eyewitness who identified himself as Bismarck said the dispatch rider resorted to using the opposite lane to navigate traffic on the Aboabo-Airport road.

The vehicle carrying the VIPs continued its journey despite the incident.

The collision compounded traffic congestion on the route, leaving motorists waiting for nearly an hour until police officers cleared the road.

A police towing truck later arrived to convey the damaged vehicles to the Airport police station.
