Ambulance driver conveying Kintampo Waterfalls victims killed in gory accident
State-owned ambulance conveying victims of the
Kintampo Waterfalls disaster to Konfo Anokye
Teaching Hospital in Kumasi, was involved in car
crash, killing the driver in the process.

The ambulance with registration number GV 375-12
was carrying the victims in critical condition to
the hospital when the accident occurred at a
farming community called Gwenewoho.

Eyewitnesses told mynewsgh.com that the accident
occurred Tuesday morning around 4am.

According to them, the Ambulance driver attempted
to overtake a vehicle in front of him but
unfortunately he hit a stationary vehicle in front
of him and another vehicle behind him smashed the
ambulance against the stationary car.

It would be recalled that a large tree fell down
at the Kintampo waterfalls on Sunday, killing
about 18 people and leaving over 30 others
injured.

The injured were receiving treatment at the
Kintampo and Techiman General Hospitals.

However, those in critical condition were being
transferred to the Konfo Anokye Teaching Hospital
in the ambulance, which was involved in the
Tuesday dawn accident.

Many of the dead of the Waterfalls were presumed
to be students of the Wenchi Methodist Secondary
School who were at the falls on an excursion.

It is believed that a storm caused the huge tree
to drop from the top of the waterfalls down on the
revelers swimming below.
