Ghanaian musician Kuami Eugene, known for his exceptional performances, was involved in a car accident on Sunday night, March 18, 2024, which left him injured.
The accident occurred at CP, near the DSTV office, heading towards the Dzowulu traffic light in Accra. Details about Kuami Eugene’s destination at the time of the accident remain unclear.
Emmanuel Ajarfor Abugri, the Editor for Modern Ghana news portal, witnessed the collision and reported that he was driving behind Kuami Eugene’s car when the incident happened around 11:30 pm.
Ajarfor mentioned that he only realized that the musician was in the car with a male passenger when he approached to offer assistance. “I was behind him, and so I was the first person to rush to his rescue. Kuame was struggling to come out so I brought him out of the car and helped the passenger too, before some guys also came around. I arranged for a vehicle to convey them to the UGMC hospital.”
He explained that the tipper truck involved in the accident was in motion but moving slowly when Kuami Eugene crashed into it from behind. Ajarfor believes that the accident occurred due to the dark N1 highway with poor lighting, compounded by the lack of tail lights on the tipper truck, which worsened visibility.
The male passenger did not show any visible physical injuries but complained of pains in his neck and back to the nurses at the UGMC Hospital.
Ajarfor also called in police officers from the Achimota Police Station to the scene to tow Kuami Eugene’s car. He noted that the artist appeared to have suffered a broken arm, visible cuts with blood on his hands, lips, leg, and a hip injury. “He’s fine. He had a broken arm with blood all over his hands. The car is badly damaged and all the airbags exploded. He could have died,” Ajarfor shared.
Kuami Eugene was driving a range rover with registration number GC-220-21 at the time of the accident.
