Most of them were so  disfigured that residents had to rush them to hospital morgues  immediately.<br \/>\nDriver of the mini Yutong bus, popularly called the Amina bus, had  both legs severed and bled to death before help could reach him.<br \/>\nSeveral human body parts littered the road as sympathizers worked to convey the wounded to the hospital.<br \/>\nSeveral passengers in both buses who sustained very serious injuries  were conveyed to the Techiman Holy Family Hospital and the Nkenkensu  Health Centre.<br \/>\nThe Yutong bus with registration number GC 4818 Z, travelling from  Bolgatanga to Kumasi, veered off its lane and crashed into the  Kumasi-Tamale bus with registration number GN 2673-10.<br \/>\nThe accident occurred between Nkenkensu and Akomadan in the Offinso municipality.<br \/>\nA survivor told DAILY GUIDE that when they (passengers) were about to  reach Nkenkensu, they realized that their driver was dozing off. Before  they could call him to order, the lights of the vehicle went off and it  crashed into the bus from the opposite direction.<br \/>\nThe witness said their vehicle ran straight into the oncoming mini Yutong bus.<br \/>\nThe impact of the crash ripped off the roof of the Tamale bound bus.\u00a0  Both buses were travelling at top speed, according to survivors.<br \/>\nAnother survivor also told DAILY GUIDE that the Yutong bus which was  travelling from Bolgatanga to Kumasi was also carrying several goats.<br \/>\nWhen DAILY GUIDE reached the scene, about 76 goats had also perished alongside the human beings.<br \/>\nMost survivors of the accident suffered severe bodily wounds and were  rushed on time by Good Samaritans to nearby hospitals for immediate  medical attention.<br \/>\nIt is feared that the death toll could rise later following the serious injuries sustained.<br \/>\nThe dead goats that were on board the Kumasi bound bus were also seen dismembered at the accident scene.<br \/>\nASP Philbert Zubavile, the Akomadan District Police Commander, said  his outfit had started investigations into the cause of the accident.<br \/>\nThe Administrator of the Nkenkenso Government Hospital, Daniel  Karikari disclosed that survivors who were in critical conditions had  been conveyed to the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital in Kumasi.<br \/>\nLast year, many lives were lost through similar road accidents involving Yutong buses on the highway from Bolgatanga to Kumasi.<br \/>\nThe Amina Spot near Kintampo alone recorded two fatal accidents which  led to the death of more than 10 people with many others sustaining  serious injuries.<br \/>\nMeanwhile, the bodies of the dead have been deposited at the Techiman  Holy Family Hospital and the Offinso St. Patrick hospital mortuaries.<br \/>\n<em><strong>From Eric Bawah &amp; I.F.
