VIDEO: Kumawood star Lil Win involved in serious car accident in Kumasi
Eyewitnesses at the scene reported that Lil Win's Benz was heavily impacted, though the extent of injuries to the actor and other victims involved remains unclear
Kumawood star Kwadwo Nkansah, also known as Lil Win, has been involved in a car accident in Kumasi, Asaase News can report.
The incident occurred just before 11am on Saturday, 25 May, near the Grace Baptist Church at Amakom in Kumasi. Lil Win’s branded Mercedes Benz private vehicle reportedly travelling at high speed, collided with a Hyundai Santa Fe vehicle.
Eyewitnesses at the scene reported that Lil Win’s Benz was heavily impacted, though the extent of injuries to the actor and other parties involved remains unclear.
“Lil Win was driving from the Amakom stretch to the Akwatia Line stretch, and the other vehicle was coming from the opposite direction. The traffic light was at rest, and when the green light showed, he drove off at top speed amid cheers from bystanders. To our surprise, the car collided with the oncoming vehicle in the process”, one witness recounted.
The actor has been rushed to the Accident and Emergency Unit at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital for medical treatment. The accident comes just hours before the premiere of his movie titled “A Country Called Ghana” at the CCB Auditorium at the KNUST.
The incident caused traffic disruptions on the main Amakom stretch. The badly damaged vehicles were being towed from the scene at the time of filing this report.
The management of Weezy Empire Film Production, the organisers of the programme, has yet to go public about this latest incident.
