On Sunday, the Kasoa-Cape Coast highway in the Central Region recorded yet another road accident.
The incident involving members of the Church of Pentecost, which occurred at Gomoa Otsew, resulted in the loss of one life and left others severely injured.
According to the driver of a Man Diesel truck, who was en route from Cote D’Ivoire to Accra, upon reaching Gomoa Otsew, a car attempted a wrongful overtaking and abruptly cut in front of the truck, seemingly to evade an oncoming vehicle.
In order to avoid colliding with the recklessly driven car, the truck driver noted that he swerved, entering the lane of an oncoming Nissan Navara.
The collision caused the truck to lose control and veer off the road into the nearby bush.
However, the back trailer of the truck remained on the road and collided with the front side of a Toyota Coaster bus, carrying 22 members of the Church of Pentecost. The bus was en route from Accra to Tarkwa.
The collision resulted in the immediate death of one member, who tragically fell from the bus and was subsequently run over by the truck.
Others sustained critical injuries and were rushed to the Winneba Trauma and Specialist Hospital for urgent medical attention.
Apam District Fire Service Commander, ACFO Adolf Ankomah Nuamah, who spoke to Adom News said significant damages have been done to all affected vehicles.
