Four people have lost their lives following a tragic road accident at Odumasi on the Accra-Kumasi Highway in the Asante Akyem Central Municipality.
The crash occurred on Monday near the Rider Iron and Steel Company and involved a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter passenger bus with registration number GE 6024-22 and a private car.
Reports indicate that the Sprinter bus was travelling from Accra to Kumasi, while the private car was heading in the opposite direction when one of the vehicles allegedly attempted a wrongful overtaking manoeuvre, leading to the collision.
Four people died instantly at the scene of the accident.
Several other passengers sustained serious and life-threatening injuries and were rushed to the Konongo-Odumasi Government Hospital for emergency treatment.
Others were also taken to Hope Care Hospital for medical attention.
The bodies of the deceased have been deposited at the Yawkwei Steward Morgue.
Police are expected to launch investigations into the cause of the accident.
