A ghastly vehicular accident on Bogoso-Obuasi Highway in the Western Region has led to the loss of two lives.
The accident involves two Sprinter buses moving from opposite directions.
Several other passengers also sustained various degrees of injuries in the accident which occurred Wednesday March 22, 2023.
According to a report monitored by DGN Online on Peace Fm, the accident involved Sprinter Mercedes Benz bus registered AC 1474-22 and another Sprinter Mercedes Benz with registration number WR 775-19 from the opposite direction.
The two passenger Sprinter buses were said to be coming from Obuasi and Bogoso respectively when the accident occurred.
At an intersection around the Wassa Japa Police Checkpoint in the Amenfi East Municipality of the Bogoso-Obuasi Highway, the two buses made wrongful overtaking which led to a head-on-collision, thereby taking the lives of the two passengers instantly and injuring others.
Both buses were mangled.
