A passerby who had witnessed the incident reported the accident to the Apam Fire Station at 2000hrs, following which a rescue team was dispatched to the scene and survivors were rescued from the carnage.
The dead have since been handed over to the Ghana Police Service to be deposited at a morgue.
They include three females and four males.
