Two more die in Ashanti accidents

Two more people have died in the two road accidents that occurred in the Ashanti region last Friday, bringing the death toll to 15.

The new deaths, one each from the Dominase and Mfensi accidents, occurred last Friday night at hospitals where the victims were rushed to for medical attention.

Other injured persons remained on admission at Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital, the Bekwai Government Hospital and the Dominase SDA hospital.

Police sources said investigations into both accidents were on-going.

Last Friday two fatal accidents claimed the lives of 13 people, while many others were critically injured.

In the biggest of the accidents, an articulator truck collided with a Mercedes Sprinter passenger bus at Dominase killing nine people on the spot.

The Kumasi-Assin Fosu passenger bus burst a tyre and swayed from its lane to collide with the oncoming articulator truck.

In the second accident, four people were killed when a KIA Prado Mini passenger bus from Kenyasi in the Brong Ahafo region to Kumasi crashed into a tree at Mfensi.
