The Kintampo Highway has been tugged as one of Ghana’s most dangerous roads as thousands have perished through accidents on the road.

On February 17, 2016, 53 people died on the stretch when a Metro mass bus and a truck rammed into each other along the same stretch.

Then on April 15, 2018, 4 people died through another accident there.

In September 2019 8 were killed and many more were injured as a result of an accident.

In 2018 the National Road Safety Authority labelled the Kintampo-Tamale stretch as one of the most dangerous Highways in Ghana.

A report revealed that between 2004 and 2011 that stretch had recorded 939 road crashes with 2,523 casualties.
