Odumase accident death toll increases to 14; hospitalised victims in stable condition

The accident saw 12 people, including a five-year-old boy, lose their lives instantly as an Accra-bound cargo truck loaded with tomatoes veered off its lane and collided head-on with an oncoming bus from the Accra-Kumasi direction at Odumase near Konongo.

One of the accident victims, 20-year-old Mabel Agbelor, tells JoyNews the cargo truck veered off onto the lane of their bus, leading to the accident.

A resident of Odumase, Bishop Omane, who witnessed the accident, says the driver of the cargo truck, who is among those dead, was wrongly overtaking a tanker truck and collided head-on with the oncoming bus.
