Six people travelling on a Ford Transit minibus lost their lives in a gory accident at Dorse, a suburb of Sege in the Ada West District.
The Ford Transit, with registration number GW 6957-18, collided with a Man Diesel articulated truck with registration number AS 5728 – 22 on Tuesday, December 6, 2022.
The Aflao-bound minibus, which had fifteen passengers on board, rammed into the truck’s tail end, which was loaded with lumber.
According to a statement by the Ghana National Fire Service(GNFS),” the lumber-loaded Man Diesel truck was making a right turn.”
The statement said six fatalities were recorded, while 10 others sustained various injuries.
The injured “was rescued by the Fire Service Rescuers and sent to Sege Polyclinic for treatment whiles the six lifeless bodies found at the accident scene were handed over to the MTTD of the Ghana Police Service Sege Command for preservation and further investigations.”
“The Ford Transit believed to have engaged in a wrongful overtaking was badly mangled beyond repairs while the Man Diesel Truck had some minor damage at the near side tail in last Sunday’s unfortunate incident,” the statement concluded.
