Earlier this morning, celebrated Ghanaian actor and television personality Akwasi Boadi, widely known as Akrobeto, survived a potentially devastating road accident near Konongo on the Accra-Kumasi highway.
Eyewitness reports indicate that Akrobeto’s vehicle was involved in a collision with a heavy-duty truck during his early morning commute to Kumasi. While the front of the car sustained notable damage, the veteran comedian emerged unscathed, according to early responders at the scene.
Unlike earlier road incidents involving public figures that ended tragically, this event has sparked conversations not just about celebrity safety, but about broader road safety concerns on Ghana’s highways—especially the Accra-Kumasi stretch, which remains one of the country’s busiest and most accident-prone.
Footage and images from the scene—now viral on social media—reveal the extent of damage to Akrobeto’s car. Despite the severity of the impact, no other passengers or third parties were involved, and emergency services responded swiftly. Akrobeto did not issue a personal statement on social media, but fans and fellow celebrities have flooded platforms with prayers and well wishes.
Beyond the concern for his wellbeing, Akrobeto’s experience serves as a strong reminder of the urgent need for sustained public education on defensive driving, vehicle maintenance, and infrastructure improvements on major highways.
Known for his witty and expressive delivery on UTV’s Real News, Akrobeto’s narrow escape from serious injury is being seen as a moment of national reflection. As one of Ghana’s most beloved entertainers, his survival is a blessing—one that many hope will spark meaningful reforms in road safety policy and public awareness.
