Upon reaching the Uptown section of the road, the police vehicle experienced a mechanical fault, causing the driver to lose control. Consequently, the vehicle veered off its lane and collided with a Hyundai i10 taxicab bearing registration number GG 4512-21, driven by Felix Akuffo, aged 30, traveling from Nsawam to Adeiso.

This incident comes on the heels of another tragic accident earlier the same day, resulting in the loss of three police officers—two men and a woman—who were en route to their operational duties.
