The two women, identified as Olivia Appiah, 19, and Afia Takyiwaa, 21, were taken to the Abenkyiman Hospital at Anwiankwanta for treatment immediately after the accident.
The driver of the saloon car. Rev Yebaoh Frimpong, who is the Head Pastor of the Assemblies of God Church at Dunkwa-Kyekyewere, also suffered injury to his left leg.
