STC dismisses claims of passenger deaths in Birimso highway crash
State Transport Company (STC) dismissed claims circulating on social media that several passengers aboard one of its buses died in the recent fatal crash at Birimso Bridge on the N6 Highway near Bonsu Junction in the Eastern Region. Nuru Hamidan, STC's Deputy Managing Director in charge of Finance and Administration, stated on Tuesday, August 4, that all 31 passengers on board the bus had been accounted for. He said, "I am happy to say that none of the STC passengers died. All of them were safe, although some sustained bruises and were taken to the hospital. We dispatched two buses to transport passengers who wished to continue their journey to Kumasi after they had been discharged. Thirty-one passengers boarded the buses, and we have accounted for all 31 passengers."
The company clarified that all passengers on board its bus survived the multi-vehicle collision, with some sustaining minor injuries and receiving medical treatment. The clarification followed a viral video where a man claiming to be an STC driver alleged that only 10 passengers survived the accident, which STC described as false and misleading. The crash involved an STC bus, a fuel tanker, a Mitsubishi pick-up, and a Kia Sorento, and claimed three lives, none of whom were passengers on the STC bus. Mr. Hamidan said the company quickly arranged alternative transport for passengers who chose to continue their journey after receiving medical attention.
