Lilwin's vehicle sustained significant damage, attracting a crowd of passersby and fans who quickly gathered at the scene.
The incident occurred just before 11am on Saturday, May 25, 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.
An eyewitness recounted, “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.”
The actor has been rushed to the Accident and Emergency Unit at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital for medical treatment. The severity of his injuries is currently unknown.
The accident caused significant traffic disruptions on the main Amakom stretch. The badly damaged vehicles were being towed from the scene at the time of filing this report.
This unfortunate incident comes just hours before the premiere of Lil Win’s movie titled “A Country Called Ghana” at the CCB Auditorium at the KNUST. The premiere event's status is now uncertain, pending further updates from his management.
The management of Weezy Empire Film Production, the organisers of the programme, has yet to release an official statement regarding the incident.
