Five persons have been reported dead in a ghastly accident at Kyekyewere on the Accra – Kumasi highway.
Other passengers also sustained various degrees of injuries.
The deceased are said to include two women and three men whose identities are not currently known.
The accident involved an Accra-Kumasi bound green Sprinter bus with registration number GT 6673-13.
The cause of the accident is, however, yet to be ascertained.
Meanwhile, the bodies have been deposited at the Suhum Government Hospital while the injured are undergoing treatment.
This comes after three police officers died in a fatal accident on Wednesday, March 27, 2024, in the same town.
The accident occurred while the officers were on their way for police operational duties.
The police officers were in a convoy heading towards Kwahu to ensure peace and security ahead of the Kwahu Easter celebrations.

Unfortunately, when the white Formed Police Unit (FPU) van reached Kyekyewere, one of its tyres burst, causing the vehicle to somersault and land in a ditch.
The force of the accident resulted in the doors of the vehicle coming off, leading to the ejection of the three officers.
Immediately after the accident, the other police officers in the convoy rushed to assist the officers in the accident vehicle and rushed them to the Suhum Government Hospital, where the three officers were confirmed dead.
The deceased officers were Chief Inspector Michael Adzaho, PW Inspector Theresa Zampiah, and General Corporal Emmanuel Asamoah.
One other officer, General Corporal Samuel Jude Koufie, sustained injuries.
