A tragic road accident has claimed the lives of seven people, with several others sustaining injuries near Babatokuma in the Kintampo Municipality.
Adom News’ Wiafe Akenten reported that the incident occurred in the early hours of Good Friday, April 3, 2026.
The crash involved a passenger bus heading south and a truck loaded with tomatoes travelling in the opposite direction toward Burkina Faso.
The two vehicles collided head-on, resulting in severe damage and trapping some passengers beneath seats and wreckage, requiring rescuers to extricate them.
Emergency responders and bystanders rushed to assist the victims, who were later transported to nearby health facilities in Kintampo, Wenchi, and Techiman for treatment.
Those in critical condition were further referred to the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital and the Tamale Teaching Hospital for advanced medical care.
Investigations are underway to establish the cause of the accident.
