Several others with severe injuries have been conveyed to the various hospitals for treatment.
The early morning crash left the Sprinter severely damaged and several passengers trapped under the wreckage.
Emergency personnel were dispatched to the scene to free those trapped and provide immediate assistance to survivors.
According to ADO1 Alex King Nartey of the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS), the rescue team worked to extricate victims from the mangled vehicle and transport those with serious injuries to medical facilities.
