Fatal crash on Kintampo-Tamale highway claims four lives
Four people died following a road crash on Saturday, 4 April, at Dawadawa along the Kintampo-Tamale Highway in the Bono East Region. Fourteen others were injured. The Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) received a distress call at about 6:55 a.m.
An eight-member rescue team, led by Assistant Station Officer Emmanuel Agyekum, arrived at the scene to find a collision between a Kia Rhino truck transporting poultry feed and a Sprinter bus carrying passengers. The GNFS retrieved four individuals trapped in the mangled vehicles and handed them over to the police. Fourteen others who sustained injuries were rescued and taken to the Kintampo Municipal Hospital for treatment.
Authorities indicated that investigations are ongoing to determine the cause of the crash.
