The incident occurred on the night of Friday, March 15 involving a Sprinter bus and another mini-bus on the Breku stretch of the road in the Ashanti Region.
Eyewitnesses recounted that one of the drivers who was speeding, made a wrongful overtaking, leading to the collision.
Reports suggest that 14 individuals died on the spot including drivers of both vehicles while seven passed away at the later at the Juaso and Konongo Government Hospitals.
While rescuers tried retrieving the dead bodies, another oncoming vehicle that could not see the mangled vehicles on the road rammed into them, resulting in another death.
One of the vehicles ahead of those that crashed also veered off into a ditch.
The driver of that vehicle sustained injuries.
Bodies of the deceased have since been deposited at the Yawkwei Steward Mortuary and Konongo Government Hospital with other survivors of the accidents undergoing treatment.
