A tragic accident on the Kumasi-Accra highway has claimed the lives of seven people and left several others injured following a head-on collision between a VIP bus and a Sprinter bus at Atwedie, near Juaso.
The crash occurred on Friday, October 11, when the Sprinter bus, with registration number AS 6413-16, was traveling from Accra to Kumasi, and the VIP bus, registration number AC 1550-17, was heading in the opposite direction towards Accra from northern Ghana.
Five passengers aboard the Sprinter bus, which was transporting tomatoes, were killed instantly in the collision. One passenger on the VIP bus also died at the scene.
Several other passengers on the VIP bus sustained various injuries and were rushed to the Juaso Government Hospital for treatment. Tragically, one of the injured passengers later succumbed to their injuries while receiving care.
Firefighters worked to extricate the victims trapped in the wreckage, and their bodies have been transferred to the Steward Mortuary in Yawkwei. The authorities have yet to confirm the exact cause of the crash, but investigations are ongoing.
