Some of the passengers' language hints at their possible origin from the Volta Region. The injured were swiftly transported to the Sege Polyclinic for medical attention, aided by the police and fire service personnel. The bus was reportedly heavily loaded, with both goods in the trunk and on the roof, raising concerns about the excessive weight that might have contributed to the tyre burst.

At the time of this report, officials at the scene declined to provide further comments to the media.",
