A Metro Mass Transit (MMT) bus heading to Kumasi from Accra has been involved in a crash at Bunso Junction along the Kumasi-Accra highway, with one VIP vehicle and another VVIP bus, both Accra-bound, on Tuesday July 26, ClassFMonline.com has gathered.

There has not been any casualty. The injured passengers have been sent to hospitals in Kibi and Suhum for medical attention.

Confirming the news to ClassFMonline.com at around 10:20am Tuesday, ASP Peter Okyere, the Eastern Regional Commander of the Motor Traffic and Transport Division (MTTD) of the Ghana Police Service, said interim investigations had revealed that the accident was caused by a slippery road surface. The MMT bus, he said, skidded off the road, running into the other buses.

He narrated that a Mercedes Benz Sprinter that managed to swerve the three buses to avoid collision entered a nearby maize farm.

ASP Okyere added that further investigations were underway to ascertain the full cause of the accident.
