Ten people are feared dead with several others injured in a car accident involving a Tamale-Kumasi bound VVIP bus with registration number AP 24-21 at Alipe, on the Tamale-Buipe Highway in the Savannah Region.
Police at the scene said they were able to rescue the injured and sent them for treatment while waiting for the arrival of personnel from the Ghana National Fire Service from Tamale to tow the bus for those trapped to be removed.
Some of the survivors who spoke to JoyNews said they left Tamale around 7:32 am today, Thursday in the rains and were heading towards Kumasi but upon reaching Alipe, a suburb of Central Gonja district in the Savannah Region, their vehicle over took another vehicle and attempted to overtake a second one when it veered off the road resulting the accident. "We were fifteen missionaries in the bus going to Kumasi, so the moment we took off, the rains started too.
But our driver was doing overtaking, and after the first car, he went for the second car but could not and went off the road.
