Narrating the incident, the divisional Police Commander Superintendent Ohene Boadi Bossman said an earlier accident at the same spot killed five people Thursday night.
“The first accident occurred around 8:30pm yesterday and we went there to clear the place and conveyed the bodies to the mortuary. We were there up till 12am, after putting all the reflectors on the road to avoid a recurrence. But this morning, this driver drove through the clones and all the reflectors and crashed into the truck killing 12 people, it's sad,” he told Accra-based Starr FM.
The deceased have been conveyed to the morgue while the injured have been sent to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) and the Konongo Government Hospital.
