Over 20 persons are feared dead in a motor accident at Dompoase near Komenda in the Central Region.

The gory accident, which occurred at around midnight on Monday, January 13 involved two buses, one said to be travelling from Takoradi to Accra – with registration number GR 5704-18 – and the other – with registration number GN 3780-10 – in the opposite direction.

Eyewitnesses told Connect FM’s Omanbapa morning show host Nhyiraba Paa Kwesi Simpson that the Takoradi-bound bus tried an overtaking but in the attempt collided with the opposite bus.

Both drivers died instantly with one of them having his head completely chopped off. The rest of his body was trapped in the mangled vehicle.

It took the effort of personnel from the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) from Cape Coast to rescue some of the injured while the mutilated bodies of dead passengers were conveyed in vehicles to the hospital.
