The scattered cash on the road<\/strong><\/p>\nAn unusual accident occurred last Friday along
\nthe Techiman-Kumasi highway when a Bank of Ghana (BoG) bullion van collided
\nwith a petrol tanker leaving one person dead.<\/p>\n
In the process, GH\u00a260.5 million wads of money scattered
\nat the scene of the accident on the outskirts of Techiman at a place in between
\nOpoku Agyemang Hospital and Techiman Senior High School.<\/p>\n
A combined team of police, military, Ghana
\nNational Fire Service and the Bureau of National Investigations prevented
\nresidents from harvesting the windfall.<\/p>\n
The security personnel cordoned off the scene
\nand collected the scattered notes into containers before moving them to the
\nTechiman Divisional Police Headquarters.<\/p>\n
Preliminary police investigations say the
\ndriver of the fuel tanker, Osman Zongo, died on the spot after he reportedly tried
\nto swerve a motorcycle. <\/p>\n
It was in his attempt to avoid the motorcycle
\nthat he collided with the oncoming BoG bullion van.<\/p>\n
Two other persons \u2014 William Asare, driver of the BoG van, and
\nassistant driver of the fuel tanker only named as Yussif \u2014 were left seriously injured and \u00a0in critical condition. <\/p>\n
They were rushed to the Techiman Holy Family
\nHospital but later airlifted to the Intensive Care Unit of the Komfo Anokye
\nTeaching Hospital, Kumasi, for further treatment.<\/p>\n
According to reports, the BoG armoured van with
\nregistration\u00a0 DP 4222-19\u00a0 was carrying \u00a0a total \u00a0amount of\u00a0
\nGH\u00a260, 500,000\u00a0 and \u00a0heading for Techiman from\u00a0 Kumasi,\u00a0
\nwhile the \u00a0fuel tanker also with
\nregistration GV\u00a0 888-13\u00a0 from Tema was on its way to Burkina Faso.<\/p>\n
Divisional Commander of Techiman Motor Traffic
\nUnit of the Ghana Police Service, ASP Andrew Okonengye, confirmed the accident
\nand stated that security personnel quickly cordoned off the location and moved
\nthe money to safe custody at the Divisional Command Headquarters at Techiman.<\/p>\n
Though not confirmed, it is believed some residents had their share of the scattered cash before security personnel moved in. <\/p>\n
