Two people have lost their lives in a fatal accident at the Opoku Transport intersection along the Tech-Oforikrom stretch of the Kumasi-Accra highway.
The crash occurred at approximately 4:30 a.m. on Tuesday when a Ford Transit ‘trotro’ bus collided with an OA-branded commercial bus at the junction.
The driver and conductor (mate) of the trotro were killed on impact.
Eyewitnesses reported that the trotro driver was speeding and crashed into the side of the commercial bus while attempting to negotiate a curve.
The non-functional traffic lights at the intersection have been cited as a major contributing factor to the accident.
The incident temporarily disrupted traffic on the busy highway until emergency services arrived to restore order.
