Five persons are reported dead, while several others were left in critical condition from an accident at Mim in the Atwima Nwabiagya District.

According to eyewitness, Kakyire Kwame Appiah, an Urvan Mini Bus with registration number GR 7480 Q traveling from Nkawae to Kumasi collided with Benz bus traveling from Kumasi to Kotokuom.

Three passengers on the Benz Bus, as well as the driver and another female passenger on the Urvan Mini Bus died on the spot.
