The mangled motorbike
A RIDER in Kumasi has sustained body injuries and has been hospitalised after he rammed his speeding motorbike into a stationary police patrol vehicle.
Some officers of the Ashanti SWAT patrol team had reportedly parked their service car at a vantage point at Asokwa road to monitor the movement of a certain vehicle.
From nowhere Iddi Kamal Mohammed, who was in charge of a Honda motorbike, registered M-24-AW 7341, surprisingly rode into the stationary police vehicle in a dangerous manner.
The Asokwa police said the rider sustained injuries after the crash, and was rushed to the Emergency Unit at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH), where he was admitted.
“On 19/06/25 at 1540 hours, Supt/Mr Opoku Agyemang Prempeh in charge SWAT/ ASH patrol team on board s/vehicle No GP 4702, driven by Const Moro Ali, brought in Honda motorbike no M-24-AW 7341 to Asokwa Police Station.
“He reported that about 1500 hours, while patrolling, the s/vehicle was stopped on a pavement in front of AG’S Timber Ltd, Kaase, to observe the movement of a certain vehicle.
“Not quite long, suspect rider Iddi Kamal Mohammed, age about 25 years, who was riding the aforementioned motorbike from Kaase Guinness towards Bost, veered off the road and hit the police vehicle,” the report stated.
Kamal Mohammed, the police said, sustained injuries and was “rushed to KATH Emergency Unit, Kumasi, for medical attention and was admitted. He has been visited, and he is responding to treatment.”
The accident motorcycle has since been impounded at the station for testing by a DVLA technical officer, the police report said, adding, “The s/vehicle was not damaged.”
