After a bus and truck collided head-on in Nkawkaw, many people were left critically injured

Following a head-on collision between an articulated truck and a commercial bus carrying passengers, many people are fighting for their lives.

On Tuesday, June 21, 2022, at about 9:00 p.m., an accident happened at Oframase, close to the Nkawkaw section of the Accra to Kumasi Highway in the Eastern region.

An eyewitness claims that both vehicles attempted to overtake a stationary Rhino truck carrying charcoal in the middle of the road without looking in the direction of oncoming traffic, which is what caused the head-on crash.

The passengers of the bus, especially those in the front seats, were gravely hurt, according to an eyewitness shortly after the collision.

A few minutes later, according to him, the police showed up at the site to transport the victims to the Holy Family Hospital in Nkawkaw.

In a related occurrence, a near-fatal collision involving 22 passengers happened on the Accra to Kumasi Highway at Densuso, close to Suhum, at around 12:15 pm the same day.

A sprinter bus traveling from Accra to Kumasi with the registration number AC 435 -20 was involved in the accident.

Speeding caused a tire to rupture on the Sprinter bus, which caused the driver to lose control and crash.

The driver and several children were among the 22 injured people who were sent for medical attention to the Suhum Government Hospital.
