The Association of Passengers (APG) has expressed sorrow and sympathy towards victims and families affected by the tragic accident that occurred on the Gomoa Okyereko section of the Accra-Cape Coast highway.
The accident, which occurred at approximately 5 am on Tuesday, involved a head-on collision between a petrol tanker and a bus traveling from Abidjan to Buduburam.
Eyewitnesses say about sixteen lives were lost in the devastating incident.
APG recognizes that every death is a tragedy, and the magnitude of this loss is particularly concerning.
APG extends its heartfelt condolences to the bereaved families, acknowledging that their loss is irreplaceable.
In addition, we call upon the Minister of Roads and Highways, Kwaku Amoako Atta, as well as the Ghana Highways Authority, National Road Safety Authority – NRSA, along with all relevant authorities, to take immediate action in rectifying the dangerous situation on the Konongo Ashiayem section of the Kumasi-Accra stretch.
We firmly believe that the lives of our members matter, and every accident puts us at risk of becoming victims ourselves.
APG remains committed to advocating for the safety and well-being of passengers. We extend our wishes for a prosperous future for APG and the nation of Ghana.
Sincerely,
Afia Kwarteng Asamani
