The suspect driver Shadrack Boadu, 23 was in charge of a Mercedes Sprinter bus with registration number GC 6521 – 21 with eleven passengers on board from Accra towards Kumasi.

However, on reaching a section of the road at Kwahu Oframase on Nkawkaw -Accra highway, he rammed into a stationary Daf Articulator truck with Burkina – Faso registration number BF 9290D603 parked at the nearside shoulder of the road when facing Nkawkaw direction, after wrong overtaking.

Police went to the scene and with the assistance of personnel from the Divisional fire service, extricated the injured passengers and rushed them to the Holy Family Hospital and Kenop Care Hospital, Nkawkaw respectively.

Five male unidentified adults among the injured were confirmed dead by the medical officer at Holy Family Hospital whilst suspect driver Shadrack Boadu and victims Addae Joseph, 32, Abdul Latif Shaibu, 48, Richard Hanu, 31 and Suraku Shaibu, 34 were admitted at the hospital.
