The incident occurred around 11:30 p.m. on August 22, 2025, and involved a KIA Mighty II truck with registration number GN 3931-18, which reportedly lost control due to clutch failure while descending the Adukrom-Somanya road.

The vehicle sustained severe damage, while about 50 bags of cement and other construction supplies were destroyed in the crash.
