The Kintampo Government Hospital carried out a mass burial of unidentified and unclaimed dead bodies from last Wednesday's accident.
In total, ten bodies were buried in the mass grave, Sunday.
The Medical Superintendent of the Hospital, Dr. Owusu Fosu told Adom FM reporter Wiafe Akenteng the bodies were going bad.
Inadequate space in a mortuary with a capacity of 15 persons, weak refrigeration system, low voltage and the resultant stench has forced the Hospital to arrive at this decision.
Last Friday, the Hospital met with the District Assembly authorities and security agencies regarding their plan to carry out the mass burial.
Earlier, bereaved families had begun moving to various mortuaries in the Brong Ahafo Region to find deceased family members.
Wiafe Akenteng, reports that, as at Thursday most families were unable to convey the bodies of their identified relations, as it was late in the night to complete the necessary paperwork.
The road carnage claimed 63 lives.
