The crash happened around midnight on Thursday, November 12, as the bus, with registration number GN 5580-25, was travelling from Elubo to Garu Timpane and reportedly lost control while negotiating a bend.

Some passengers believe the driver may have dozed off at the wheel, leading to the vehicle veering off the road. However, the cause of the accident remains unknown as investigations have yet to establish what happened.

Passengers who sustained injuries were taken to the Dunkwa-on-Offin Municipal Hospital for treatment. Those with minor injuries have since been discharged.
