Travelers along the Kumasi-Akumadan road were horrified when they chanced on a gory accident that occurred close to Akumadan Sunday night.
A Sangyong mini bus collided with an SUV that is alleged to have done a wrong overtaking .
One person in the SUV; an expatriate could not be pulled out and looked lifeless while others had been pulled out with various degrees of injuries.
Meanwhile at least one person got burnt to death in the mini bus while the other passengers were severely injured. The Sangyong minibus burst into flames shortly after the collision and exploded several times while family members cried for their relatives who were feared to still be in the burning vehicle.
Cars from the Techiman and Kumasi sides were forced to park as it was too dangerous to cross over due to the angry flames.
Passengers who were forced to stop were visibly angry and frustrated as no security agency arrived on the scene for more than an hour after the accident. Many insisted they had called the Police at Akumadan while others say they called the ambulance services and fire service but none of these units were on site to assist the dying victims when rawgist.com’s Bernard Buachi got to the scene.
Public mini buses were forced to convey the injured to nearby hospitals in the hope of saving some lives.
