Na God FC survive terrifying road accident after team bus collides with trailer

Division One League side Na God FC narrowly escaped tragedy on Sunday evening when their team bus was involved in a serious road accident near Aboasa, a few kilometres from the Adomi Bridge in Ghana’s Eastern Region.

The incident occurred at approximately 6:55 p.m., as the team was returning from Ho after earning a hard-fought 0-0 draw against Home Stars FC in a Zone 3 league encounter.

Reports indicate that the club’s bus was struck from behind by a speeding trailer, causing it to veer off the road and crash into a nearby coconut plantation.

Before the unfortunate incident, Na God FC had demonstrated remarkable grit and determination, playing with ten men for much of the match yet managing to maintain their unbeaten start to the season.
