Two people have been killed in a gory road accident involving a Mercedes Benz Sprinter bus and a tricycle at Nyinahin in the Ashanti region.

The rider’s assistant, Frankie, was also pronounced dead a few minutes upon arrival at the Nyinahin Government Hospital.
Eyewitness say the rider of the tricycle with registration M-21-AS 2962, travelling from Agogoso to Nyinahin was busy on his phone whilst riding ahead of the bus on the main Kumasi-Bibiani Highway.
The driver of the Sprinter bus, with registration AS 2831-21, warned the rider through his horns in an attempt to overtake the tricycle.
It was after one of such warnings that the Benz bus crashed into the tricycle, killing the rider instantly at a section of the road opposite the Nyinahin public cemetery.
