Two separate accidents - one near Winneba Junction and the other at Teshie in Accra - have reportedly claimed 21 lives Wednesday.
The first accident involved a head-on collision between a 23-seater 207 Benz bus and a Mazda cab in which 19 people died.
Reports say two school children were also killed when their Ford school bus overturned at Teshie.
Police are yet to confirm the two incidents.
In the Winneba Junction accident, which correspondents say occurred at about 5 a.m., an eye witness told Peace FM the Benz bus which was travelling from Mumford to Winneba with mostly market women, collided with the cab.
The cab, loaded with sardines, is believed to have wandered into the lane of the Benz bus resulting in the collision.
The drivers of both vehicles are believed to have died in the accident. The bodies have been conveyed to the Winneba Hospital.
Seven people who are in critical condition have also been conveyed to the Winneba Government Hospital where they are receiving medical attention.
In the accident involving the school bus, an eyewitness told Adom FM the bus was carrying about 40 pupils to school when it suddenly veered of the road and overturned, killing the two pupils.
The accident occurred at the Fertilizer (First) Junction.
