Confirming the accident to 3news.com, the Police said both the driver and the mate of the Sprinter mini bus were among those who died.

Police say the deceased were all occupants of the mini bus which was travelling from Kumasi to Konongo.

Driver of the truck, registered ER-5382-X, and his mate who suffered injuries are said to be responding to treatment.Ashanti Regional MTTD Commander Chief Supt. Frank Abrokwah our correspondent Beatrice Spio-Garbrah that they received information on the accident at about 4.30 am Friday and a team was dispatched there.

He said preliminary investigations have revealed that the sprinter bus had overtaken another sprinter bus from the passenger direction on a section of the road where a speed ramp had been constructed.

“In the process, he lost control of the steering wheel and ran into the lane of the oncoming truck and crash into it. That truck in an attempt to avoid the accident veered off its lane and ran into somebody’s house causing extensive damage to the house,” Supt. Abrokwa said.

He said though the Christmas was over, the Police MTTD will intensify its education of drivers, noting “Christmas is over yet the rules are as it is, and the vehicles are as it is”.

Chief Supt Abrokwa advised drivers to exercise utmost caution on the road because “they carry human lives”.

“What at all will embolden a driver to overtake another on highway from the passenger direction? It is unheard of, yet this is what he has done leading to the death of innocent souls,” he wondered.
