The Ministry of Roads and Highways has said that investigations have commenced into the rock blast accident at Buduburam to unravel the cause of this unfortunate incident.
The Ministry said it is also liaising with relevant institutions such as the Ghana Police Service and the National Disaster and Management Organisation (NADMO) to ascertain the number of casualties and injured and ensure that appropriate care is provided for all those affected.

The rock blast which lasted for a few minutes was done after several vehicles on the stretch were halted for the activity to take place.
