A fatal accident occurred in the wee hours of Friday involving two public transport buses with over fifty passengers each in Ghana’s middle belt. The accident has claimed the lives of over 50 people. The accident happened in a town named Ampoma in the newly created Bono East region.
The buses are said to have engaged in a head-on collision on the Kintampo Techiman road. One of the buses caught fire after the incident worsening the already bad situation.
Regional police have since reported to the site of the incident as rescue efforts continue. The road affected is one of the important routes connecting two parts of the country.
Traveling through the night is a phenomenon that a category of passengers prefer hence the roads are usually busy even at night. Police are yet to ascertain the real cause of the accident.
