Two persons died and one seriously injured when a mini-bus on which they were travelling ran into a tree at the weekend at Akwatia.
The dead have been identified as Isaac Aikins, who died shortly on admission at the Saint Joseph Hospital in Koforidua and Kwadwo Ahenfo.
The bodies have been deposited at the hospital morgue while a middle aged woman is in critical condition at the same hospital.
Also injured were Kwasi Boateng 28, from Accra, Charles Acheampong 30 and Mary Ahenfo 32 and two children aged 8 and 10 are receiving treatment at the hospital.
According to the Police, the bus with registration number GW5281Z with its occupants arrived at Boadua for a funeral on Friday night.
It was seen overspeeding in Boadua township on Friday with most of the occupants going on drinking spree from spot to spot ignoring advice to limit their speed in town.
Then on Saturday morning, they continued their drinking spree and reckless driving at Boadua and Akwatia and nearly run into a group buying and selling diamonds at the open market called Belgium.
Police said while speeding back to Boadua the driver lost control of the vehicle when negotiating a curve and ran into the tree.
Seth Acheampng who was said to be the driver has since been detained by the police to help in the investigation.
