Road crash kills 21 at Adansi
Adansi (Ash), GNA - Twenty-one persons were killed
in a fatal road crash involving three vehicles at
Adansi on the Kumasi-Accra Highway on Sunday.
Fifteen (15) of them died on the spot and the
remaining six, later at the Juaso and
Konongo-Odumase Government Hospitals.

A four-month baby and nine others survived, but
the condition of two people are said to be
critical, and they have been sent to the Accident
and Emergency Unit of the Komfo Anokye Teaching
Hospital (KATH).

The rest are reportedly out of danger and
receiving medical treatment at the Juaso District
Hospital.

The three vehicles involved in the accident were a
Mercedes Benz Sprinter, a Toyota Hiace and a
Toyota Coaster bus; and all the dead, according to
eyewitnesses, were travelling on the Toyota Hiace
mini-bus.

The driver of the Sprinter bus was alleged to be
speeding and ran head-on into the Toyota mini-bus
whilst he tried to overtake another vehicle ahead
of him.

Eyewitnesses said there was such a huge impact
that the mini-bus was lifted before crashing into
the Coaster bus belonging to the Institute of
Statistical Social and Economic Research (ISSER),
Legon, which was right behind it.

Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Samuel
Sandow Latebu, confirmed the incident to the Ghana
News Agency (GNA) and said recklessness on the
part of the sprinter driver was to blame.

He said initial investigations showed that the
offending driver, speeding on a hilly section of
the road suddenly saw a private car ahead of him
and in an attempt to avoid hitting the rear
overtook it, only to collide with the mini-bus.


The bodies had since been deposited at a private
morgue at Yawkwei near Juaso for autopsy.
