Seven people have died in a tragic accident at Nkawada No. 2 on the Nkawkaw–Accra highway after a Sprinter bus collided head-on with a trailer.
An eyewitness, Kwame Agyemang, told Adom News that the incident occurred around 1:47 p.m. on Tuesday, August 26.
The Sprinter, with registration number AW 4619-14, had set off from Somanya in the Eastern Region, heading to Kumasi.
It collided with a truck bearing registration GN 114-21, which was travelling from Kumasi to Accra under circumstances yet to be established.
While the driver and mate of the truck survived without injuries, they have been taken into custody to assist with investigations.
Agyemang reported that the truck driver claimed he was unaware that it was raining at the time of the crash.
Some of the victims included a mother and child, whose bodies were dismembered, while others were critically injured.
The injured were rushed to Enyiresi Government Hospital and Kenop Hospital at Nkawkaw for medical attention.
Preliminary reports suggest the truck driver may have dozed off behind the wheel.
