Eight persons are feared dead, while several others are in critical condition after a gory accident on the Kasoa-Cape Coast stretch.
The sad incident involved a Daf cargo truck that collided with an H100 commercial vehicle at Mustapha Plus.
According to an eyewitness, the cargo truck was heading to Cape Coast from Kasoa while the trotro vehicle was heading to Kasoa from Afransi.
The collision was triggered by a saloon car that wrongfully attempted to overtake both the cargo truck and the trotro, disrupting the normal flow of traffic and leading to the crash.
Eyewitnesses further revealed that travelling at a high speed hindered its ability to reduce speed when the saloon car crossed the vehicle, resulting in the accident.
Two persons in the commercial vehicle are in critical condition, while those with minor injuries receive treatment at the Winneba Trauma and Specialist Hospital.
