At least 13 people are feared dead following a fatal three-vehicle collision at Odumase, near Konongo, on the Kumasi-Accra Highway in the Ashanti Region.

The crash involved a cargo truck transporting tomatoes, a passenger bus and a fuel tanker, which was not carrying fuel at the time of the accident.

The exact cause of the accident is yet to be officially established. However, eyewitnesses who spoke to our reporter said the crash was allegedly caused by a wrongful overtaking manoeuvre, which resulted in a head-on collision.

Emergency response teams arrived at the scene to rescue trapped victims, while heavy traffic has built up on the road.

Moments later, a second accident happened at Dadieso close to Konongo, adding to the growing concerns over road safety on the busy Kumasi-Accra Highway.
