The accident happened when a commercial bus, which was heading towards Wa, collided with a truck from the Kumasi direction, at Nkenkensu on the Kumasi-Techiman road.
Unconfirmed reports revealed that the driver of the passenger bus made a wrong overtaking into the opposite lane, leading to the crash.
