A tragic road accident on the Accra-Aflao Highway, at Awalavi in the Ketu North Municipality of the Volta Region, has resulted in several passengers sustaining various degrees of injuries.
The accident occurred after a 15-seater transit minibus with the registration number GT 5645-21 lost control and hit a pavement metal along the road.
According to sources, the bus, which was traveling from Accra to Aflao lost control and veered off its lane before hitting the pavement.
The driver of the bus was said to be speeding and could not easily control the bus after the back tyre burst, which resulted in the accident.
Several passengers sustained various degrees of injuries and were transported to the nearby Weta Hospital in the municipality for medical attention.
A witness said “We need to commend the residents of Awalavi for their kind gestures and intervention to transport the injured passengers to the hospital, even before the arrival of the Afife Police.”
He appealed to drivers on the Accra-Aflao Highway to be extra careful, particularly during nighttime and early morning travel, to avoid unfortunate accidents that could endanger the lives of passengers.
