“The driver of the Baffour Soccer Academy veered from his way and collided with another bus. I’m sure he was new on the road,” the eyewitness is quoted as saying by Footballghana.
“We were able to save the lives of the players with the exception of coach of the club, one player and another man whom we were later told that he is the communication director.
“The coach was trapped in the car and it took the intervention of the police and Fire service to come and save him. So far, nobody has been confirmed dead and we are praying that nobody will die.”
Meanwhile, the Ghana Football Association (GFA) has sent its well wishes to Baffour Soccer Academy following the sad incident.
