One person was feared dead and several others were injured when a Renault mini bus with registration number GW 5542-12 somersaulted at a spot in front of the Villaggio buildings, near the residence of former President Kufuor in Accra on Tuesday evening.
Some of the victims had broken limbs, cuts and serious bruises. A woman had part of her head skin peeling off from the skull. They were rushed to the 37 Military Hospital for treatment.
The commercial bus, which was heading towards 37 from Madina, was said to have been crossed by a Pontiac Vibe with registration number GT 6257-12 coming from the same direction.
As a result, the driver of the commercial vehicle (trotro) lost control and somersaulted. About 12 passengers got trapped when it finally landed on its side. Rescuers had to assist the victims to escape through the driver’s door.
However, the Pontiac driven by a youngman with a lady by his side skidded off the road when it hit the commercial vehicle, bursting its (Pontiac) front tyre in the process.
According to eyewitnesses – Denis Walter, Emmanuel Sam, Bright Obeng Adu and Emmanuel Sackeyfio (Lensman) - who also assisted Myjoyonline.com with pictures of the gory accident, the driver of the Pontiac did not show any remorse for his action nor did he care about the victims.
They told Myjoyonline.com that the driver, who was a little tipsy instead, called his friends who came to assist him to replace his tyre and sped off with the lady friend as fruitless efforts were made to the police service.
