Two people have died in an accident at the Opoku Transport intersection on the Tech-Oforikrom stretch of the Kumasi-Accra highway.
The accident occurred at 4:30 am on Tuesday.
A Ford transit 'trotro' bus collided with an OA-branded commercial bus at the junction.
The driver and conductor (mate) of the trotro were killed in the crash. Several injuries were also reported on the fully loaded OA bus.
Eyewitnesses suggest that the trotro driver was speeding and crashed into the side of the OA bus while negotiating a curve.
The non-functional traffic lights at the intersection are believed to have been a major contributing factor to the accident.
The incident caused temporary delays on the busy road until the intervention of emergency services.
