Three persons are feared dead with several others injured in a gory accident involving five cars on the Nsawam-Ofankor road in the Greater Accra Region.
The accident reportedly occurred at around 4:30 am today [Monday], after a speeding tipper truck crashed into 4 vehicles including a school bus, and an STC bus.
Narrating the incident to Citi News, a Ghana National Fire Service officer at the scene, D. O.1 Joseph Koranteng, said: “An accident had happened already around 12:00 pm and that created traffic around this area, and there was a tipper truck speeding. He did not know there was traffic here and he had loaded so much sand…because of the load, he could not control the wheel so he had to be smashing these four cars. The driver died instantly. He got mashed up because the tipper truck had to crash it against the school bus.”
Other incidents
There were some accidents recorded over the weekend in the Central Region.
One of the accidents on Saturday involved the Member of Parliament for Awutu Senya West and Deputy Communications Minister, George Andah.
The Deputy Minister was heading towards Loye, a village near Gomoa Buduburam when the accident occurred.
Mr. Andah’s vehicle was involved in a collision with an articulated truck, and he was in the car with the driver, a bodyguard and a constituency executive of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) from Awutu Senya West.
