Tonight, JoyNews' PM Express took another critical look at the surge in road accidents in the country.

This follows the death of 10 persons after two buses collided at Gomoa Mampong on the Kasoa-Winneba Highway in the Central Region on Sunday, August 22.

Over 42 others sustained severe injuries.

Also, from January to April alone, 1,034 deaths have been recorded by the Motor Traffic and Transport Department (MTTD) of the Ghana Police Service.
