A survivor of Thursday's fatal accident which occurred on the Adukrom-Aseseeso Road in the Okere District of the Eastern Region has shared a chilling account of the circumstances surrounding the tragedy.
What was intended to be an exciting excursion for pupils of the Ben Kunadu SDA Basic School in Asante Akyem in the Ashanti Region and some parents and teachers to the Akosombo Dam in the Eastern Region, turned tragic when the bus, registered as GV 83-22 and belonging to Collins Senior High School in Asante Agogo, which was transporting the 63 occupants, overturned while descending the mountainous Akuapem enclave after the driver lost control of the wheel.
A 14-year-old pupil of the school and a 51-year-old parent, both yet to be identified, perished in the accident on the spot.
Fourty one (41) of the victims including the two deceased were rushed to the Yilo Krobo District Hospital with the rest being sent to the Tetteh Quarshie Memorial Hospital at Akuapem-Mampong.
