Eyewitnesses reported that the crash occurred in the early hours of Wednesday, January 7, 2025, between the Samproso and Awisam communities near Offinso.
According to Kwadwo Obeng Mireku, an eyewitness who spoke to Adom News, a commercial bus with registration GT 5509-20, travelling from Techiman to Kumasi, collided head-on with a trailer carrying cement, registration GN 5326-22.
