The report indicates that twelve-year-old Angelina Stickings, who lost both legs and her father in the fatal Ofankor-Pokuase crash, is appealing for public support to aid her recovery and help her return to school.
It further notes that angelina is currently receiving treatment at the Greater Accra Regional Hospital after sustaining life-altering injuries in the crash on August 13, 2026, which claimed 12 lives and left several others injured.
The accident involved multiple vehicles and was reportedly triggered after a tricycle rider was knocked down, resulting in a chain collision.
Although Angelina survived the crash, the severity of her injuries led to the amputation of both legs.
Her family has not yet told her that her father died in the accident.
The tragedy came just six months after Angelina lost her mother.
Before the crash, Angelina was focused on her education and had aspirations for the future. Her greatest wish now is to recover and return to school.
In an emotional appeal from her hospital bed, she pleaded for assistance as she continues to endure pain.
“I need you guys to help me. Right now my stomach is paining me… I am suffering in this hospital. You guys need to help us,” she said.

Her brother, John Stickings, stated the cost of Angelina’s treatment had placed a heavy financial burden on the family.
He stated the family was now mobilising funds to secure prosthetic limbs to help Angelina regain mobility and eventually walk again.
“We are preparing to do the leg, because sometimes she complains that she wants to go to school again. We need the government to support us. Any support to make my sister walk again,” he appealed.
Mr Stickings urged the government, organisations and individuals willing to help to support Angelina’s recovery.
