In an interview with TV3, Eric Donkor said:

“It wasn’t easy but God made us survive, we the players. Unfortunately, we lost a technical team member.

“I was sitting at the back of the bus when the accident happened. I wasn’t asleep. I was awake when it happened.

“We were overtaking one big vehicle not knowing there was a KIA car parked with fertilizer and we just run into it. There wasn’t any triangle or any symbol to show that there is a spoilt car there. So we just run into it and that caused the accident.”

Kumasi Asante Kotoko’s super clash with Accra Hearts of Oak has been officially postponed indefinitely due to the accident.
