A survivor of the gory Kintampo highway accident has given a chilling account of the incident that claimed the lives of at least 30 people Monday dawn.

The pregnant woman [name unknown] narrating the incident to JoyNews revealed that motorists using the road at the time of the accident ignored their cries for help and rather sped past the scene.

According to her, while the trapped victims screamed from the burning vehicles, she and other survivors made it to the side of the road to get help.

But their hopes of getting someone to help them was dampened as vehicles passing by failed to stop.

She explained that she lost her twelve-year-old ward to the accident.

Recounting the incident, the lady who was travelling on the Yutong bus noted that, the driver fell asleep behind the wheel.

According to her, when the bus veered off its lane into the other, the driver of the approaching Sprinter vehicle headed for the bush to avoid the collision.

However, the Sprinter, unfortunately, collided with the Yutong bus, leading to the accident.

The lady said she and the others were able to escape when a young lady broke a window, giving them the opportunity to escape.

Many of those who made it out sustained various degrees of burns and were later rushed to the Kintampo General Hospital for treatment.

According to JoyNews almost all the survivors have been treated and discharged.
