Five people who escaped a near-death accident on
the Akatsi-Wute road in the Akatsi South District of the Volta Region are in
critical condition.
A pick truck they were travelling on veered off the road
causing it to somersault severally before landing in a nearby bush.
According to an eyewitnesses account, the white pick-up was
carrying mourners from the St. Paul’s Hospital morgue on Saturday to Seglakope
for a funeral when the incident occurred at Worwoenu Abotsigakope Junction, the
GNA reported.
The GNA’s visit to the accident scene saw the pick-up in the
bush with the number plates removed suggesting it might have somersaulted several
times.
Chief Superintendent of Police of the Akatsi District
Command, Joseph Atsu Dzineku, who confirmed the accident said the police had
taken control of the situation and that details would be disclosed later.
September had been a bloody month with more than 23 deaths in
road carnages across the country.
On September 16, a day after 14 people
perished on the Suhum-Kumasi highway, another gory accident at Gomoa Adam
on the Kasoa-Cape-Coast highway claimed six lives and injured seven others.
On September 8, three persons, including a four-year-old
child, died in a fatal accident on the Accra-Kumasi Highway.
