About 13 people are feared dead, while several others sustained severe injuries following an accident at Amanase Estate Junction on the Accra-Kumasi Highway.
Reports indicate that the gory incident occurred in the early hours of Tuesday, April 22, 2025.
The accident involved a fuel tanker with registration number GR 1300-16 and a Sprinter bus with registration number GW 6510-23, which were travelling in opposite directions.
The fuel tanker, which was heading to Accra, reportedly veered off its lane and collided head-on with the oncoming Sprinter bus, which was en route to Kumasi.
The Suhum Municipal Public Relations Officer for the Ghana National Fire Service, ADO1 Akonnor Opare Ohene Daniel, confirmed the number of casualties, adding that some passengers were trapped and had to be extricated from the wreckage.
In an interview, the tanker driver’s mate recounted that he fell asleep midway through the journey and woke up to find that the driver had veered into the opposite lane.
Meanwhile, the injured are receiving treatment at the Suhum Government Hospital, while the bodies of the deceased have been deposited at the mortuary.
