The mangled vehicles
SEVERAL PASSENGERS onboard two different vehicles, a Sprinter commercial bus and Nissan Urvan bus, have sustained severe body injuries after the two cars crashed in the middle of the Kumasi to Asante Mampong highway.
The two vehicles were said to be facing the Asante Mampong direction, but upon reaching Ntonso, the driver of the Nissan Urvan bus, identified only as Shagy, reportedly, made a sharp U-turn on the busy road without giving signal to the car behind to slow down.
Suspect driver Isaac Boateng, aged 52, who was in charge of the Sprinter commercial bus, therefore rammed his vehicle into the middle portion of the Nissan Urvan bus. The two vehicles then fell into a nearby ditch on the shoulder of the road.
“On 30/09/2025 about 1600 hours, suspect driver Isaac Boateng, aged 52 years was driving Sprinter commercial bus Number: AE 251-12 from Kumasi towards Mampong with 16 passengers on board, whilst suspect driver whose name was given as Shagy, was also driving Nissan Urvan bus Number: AW 3471-21 from Aboaso towards Ntoso.
“It was alleged that, suspect driver Shagy on reaching Ntoso near Seventh Day Adventist Senior High School, made a U-turn on the road and, in the process, the driver in charge of the Sprinter bus, who was driving behind the Nissan Urvan bus, ran into the middle portion of the Nissan Urvan bus.
“As a result, both vehicles skidded off the road and landed into a ditch,” the Mamponteng Police District MTTD sitrep in the Ashanti Region, which has been sighted by the DAILY GUIDE, reported.
All occupants on board the Sprinter bus and the Nissan Urvan bus as well as the two suspected drivers, sustained injuries and were rushed to the Asonomaso Government Hospital, where they were admitted for treatment.
According to the police, both accident vehicles were towed and impounded at the station for examination, adding that investigation into the near-gory accident was underway.
