Veteran Ghanaian actor and television host, Akwasi Boadi, popularly known as Akrobeto, was involved in a car accident on Friday, May 23, while travelling to Kumasi.
The incident occurred near Konongo on the Accra-Kumasi highway, a route often marked by heavy traffic and frequent road accidents.
Preliminary reports indicate that Akrobeto’s vehicle collided with a heavy-duty truck under circumstances that are still being investigated.
Eyewitnesses said the actor, who hosts UTV’s popular satirical news programme The Real News, was driving alone at the time of the accident.
Emergency responders arrived promptly at the scene and provided immediate assistance.
Although the crash caused extensive damage to the front of Akrobeto’s vehicle—as shown in photos and videos circulating on social media—he fortunately escaped without any serious injuries.
He was assessed at the scene and did not require hospitalization.
