Five persons on board a Toyota Hiace bus have been confirmed dead in an accident at Anyinasin along the Accra- Kumasi highway on Thursday morning.
The deceased include three males and two females.
Several others who sustained severe injuries are receiving treatment at the Osino and Kyebi government hospitals.
The accident occurred when a speeding Toyota Corolla travelling from the Kumasi direction of the highway attempted to drive past a stationary truck in the middle of the road to the opposite lane.

The Toyota Hiace with registration number GC 7230-21 which was driving behind Toyota Corolla also crashed into the two vehicles and somersaulted.
Kyebi Divisional MTTD Commander, DSP Henry Agyemang who confirmed the incident said the Police have begun investigation into the case.
He advised motorists to be extra careful, especially during this Christmas season, when accidents are rampant.
