Four others are in critical condition following a head-on collision involving a Sprinter bus with Registration Number GT-4789-13 and Hyundai Matiz with Registration number GW-8582-20 at Assin Fosu in the Assin Foso Municipality of Central Region.
According to eyewitnesses, the Sprinter bus was travelling from Twifu Praso and heading towards Kumasi, upon reaching Assin Fosu, a mentally challenged person crossed his lane and in the process of saving him, crashed with the Hyundai Matiz which was travelling from Kumasi in the opposite direction and heading towards Cape Coast.
