Over 10 passengers are in critical condition while eleven others sustained various degrees of injuries after a sprinter bus lost its balance.

According to information, the sprinter benz bus with registration number GN 3680-14 burst its back tyre which made the bus veer off its lane and somersaulted twice before landing in some bushes.

One of the passengers in the car, who identified himself as Pastor Isaac Afful, was fortunate to have survived with minor injuries.

He told Adom News’ Seth Kofi Adjei that the accident was a mechanical fault, and he hailed the driver for the bravery in controlling the car despite the misfortune.

The Ghana Ambulance Service and police service arrived at the scene and administered first aid treatment to the injured.

The over 10 persons, who were critically injured, were transported to the Winneba Hospital. No death has been recorded.

Reports indicate the accident occurred about 200 meters away from the Potsin Junction on the Kasoa-Cape Coast Highway in the Central Region.

The accident is said to have happened after the speeding driver of the military vehicle overtook some cars ahead of it.

An eyewitness identified as Farid Adamu told Adom News that they were travelling from Mankessim to Kaneshie but their driver parked to change a flat tyre near the scene.

“The military vehicle was travelling towards Winneba on top speed and honking so most of the cars had to make way for it but unfortunately, it hit the back of the Toyota which was in front of it.

“The driver lost control and hit a high tension electricity pole during which the door came off and his mate fell and finally crashed into a storey building,” he narrated.
