At least 15 people are feared dead following a fatal road crash involving three vehicles at Odumase, near Konongo, on the Kumasi-Accra Highway in the Ashanti Region.
The accident involved a passenger bus, a truck loaded with tomatoes and an empty fuel tanker, resulting in a devastating collision that left several passengers trapped in the wreckage.
Although the exact cause of the crash is yet to be established, eyewitnesses suggested that the incident may have occurred after one of the vehicles attempted a dangerous overtaking manoeuvre, leading to a head-on collision.
Emergency response teams quickly moved to the scene to rescue victims, while injured passengers were transported to nearby health facilities for medical attention.
The crash caused significant traffic disruptions along the busy highway as police officers and emergency personnel carried out rescue operations, recovery efforts and traffic management.
Meanwhile, another road accident has been reported at Dadieso, also near Konongo, shortly after the Odumase crash, heightening concerns about road safety on the Kumasi-Accra route.
Authorities are yet to officially confirm the number of casualties or provide further details on the circumstances surrounding both accidents.
