Intercity STC has dismissed reports claiming that only 10 passengers survived the recent road crash involving one of its buses.
The company said the report, which was based on an interview allegedly given by the bus driver, was inaccurate and did not reflect what actually happened.
“Interview attributed to the driver, suggesting that only ten (10) passengers survived the accident. Intercity STC wishes to state categorically that this information is false and does not reflect the actual situation,” the company said.
STC confirmed that every passenger and crew member on board survived the accident.
“We are pleased to confirm that all passengers and crew members on board survived the accident. The affected passengers received the necessary medical assistance and were all discharged yesterday,” the statement added.
On the day of the accident, the Ghana Police Service announced that the highway had been completely closed after a collision involving an STC passenger bus, an articulated truck and a saloon car.
The crash brought traffic to a halt in both directions as emergency teams responded to the scene and police worked to manage the heavy congestion.
Authorities have not yet confirmed what caused the accident, and investigations are still ongoing.
“The safety and well being of our passengers and staff remain our highest priority. The Company is working closely with the relevant authorities to establish the circumstances surrounding the accident and will provide further verified information when necessary,” the company stated.
STC also assured passengers that it remains committed to maintaining high safety standards and providing reliable transport services across the country.
“We wish to reassure our valued passengers and the general public that Intercity STC remains committed to maintaining the highest possible standards of safety, reliability and customer care across all our operations,” the statement concluded.
