A gory accident between Kintampo and Babatokuma has claimed 22 lives.
The deceased include 17 men, four women and one child.
According to reports, 21 persons died on the spot while one person died at the Kintampo Government Hospital.
The Yendi-Kumasi bound bus with registration number AS 4635-22 which had 52 passengers onboard, crashed with a trailer truck with registration number GW 1127 P carrying tiles.
Even though it is unclear what really happened, some passengers said the truck driver tried to swerve a stationary truck.
In the process, it joined the other lane which resulted in a near collision with the commercial bus.
Those who survived the accident are receiving treatment at the Kintampo Hospital while the dead have been deposited at the Kintampo Government Hospital morgue.
