He noted that those in critical condition will be referred to Korle-bu Teaching Hospital for further treatment.
According to an eyewitness, Matthew Mensah, who helped to remove the victims from the mangled vehicle, the car which caused the accident failed to stop after a wrongful overtaking.
As a result, the truck driver lost control and collided with the passenger bus travelling from Takoradi to Accra.
