The rescue team came across the third accident on their way back to the Fire Station, near Winneba Roundabout and one person was injured.

It was indeed a hectic morning for the Gallant Fire personnel and their Ambulance Service colleagues from the Winneba Fire Station.

However, no death was recorded.
