The witness told Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen show that the tipper truck, which was transporting stones, collided with the Ford bus which was travelling from Tarkwa to Accra.
He narrated the tipper truck driver was driving recklessly and at top speed, hence, the Ford sparked fire shortly after the collision killing the occupants on the spot.
“The driver of the tipper truck was on top speed and there are curves on the road and so he collided with the bus and killed the people including a two-year-old child burning them to death. The driver of the tipper truck and his mate were also burnt in the truck,” he narrated.
Fire service personnel and the police, he noted, were at the scene to help douse the fire and direct traffic on the stretch.
