At least four school children met their untimely death in a ghastly crash on the Terchire-Adrobaa stretch in the Tano North District of Bono Region.
Three of the pupils died on the spot while another was pronounced dead at the hospital shortly after arrival.
The deceased are two males and two females.
Also, several others were left in critical condition in the accident involving an old Benz school bus with registration number AW 6345-11.
The bus was transporting about 42 pupils of the DS Elite Academy when the car slid off the newly constructed Adrobaa road.
Eyewitnesses narrated that the driver slid off the slippery road upon getting to a sharp curve, causing the car to somersault.
Meanwhile, the injured victims were transported to the St. John’s Hospital at Duayaw-Nkwanta and the Adrobaa health center.
Four other pupils with life-threatening injuries have been referred to the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital.
