  "account": "Eight individuals lost their lives in a tragic accident that occurred on Thursday, October 29, 2026, at Azuletti, located near Samenye along the Elubo–Takoradi Highway. The incident took place at approximately 7:26 p.m. when an Ivorian passenger bus, registered as AB-415-AN, collided with a parked Burkinabè bus, registered as KJA-5604J. According to the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS), the parked vehicle was obstructing one lane of the highway at the time of the collision.\n\nThe GNFS station in Elubo dispatched firefighters to the scene, who successfully rescued 21 passengers from the wreckage. Alas, seven victims succumbed to their injuries at the collision site, while a further individual succumbed to their injuries at the hospital, resulting in an unfortunate death toll of eight. The injured passengers were swiftly transported to the nearest medical facility for treatment, while the deceased were subsequently handed over to the police for investigation.\n\nPreliminary findings indicate that speeding may have played a role in the collision, though the inquiry is still underway. The Ivorian bus was reportedly en route to Benin when the unfortunate accident occurred.",
