A fatal crash occurred at Assin Fosu in the Central Region on Sunday night, resulting in the deaths of two people. The collision took place at around 7 p.m. when a Scienta vehicle attempting to overtake another vehicle crashed into an oncoming Metro Mass Transit (MMT) bus from Kumasi. The driver of the Scienta and one of its passengers were killed, while five other passengers sustained injuries and were taken to a hospital for treatment.
The MMT bus veered off the road and collided with the wall of Obiri Yeboah Senior High School, causing the building to collapse. Three children were struck by the bus as it crashed and were taken to a hospital in stable condition. The Central North Regional Motor Traffic and Transport Department (MTTD) reported that the Scienta driver had moved into the opposite lane to overtake the vehicle that had slowed down to make a turn.
Police are investigating the incident, which highlights ongoing concerns about risky overtaking practices on busy highways. Authorities have cautioned motorists to exercise extreme caution, especially when overtaking, and to ensure a clear road ahead before making such maneuvers.
