It still remains unclear, the number of occupants in the said vehicle but reports say the MPs’ security details were part of the occupants in the vehicle.
Local website myjoyonline.com reported however that an immigration vehicle made U-turn on the Konongo highway, and in the MPs driver’s bid to avoid running into the vehicle, they veered off the road and entered the bush.
The MPs and their entourage, were rushed to the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital in Kumasi for treatment, local media reported.
“It is with a grateful heart that I wish to inform all well-wishers that the two honourable members of Parliament are fine and responding to treatment”, a Deputy Communication Director of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Eric Agyei wrote on Facebook.
The two legislators have since been discharged.
