The mini bus with registration  number GS 6249 Y, carrying 10 passengers from Nkawkaw to Koforidua, had  intended to make a quick turn towards Koforidua but the space was too  small for it because an oncoming vehicle was entering the main road from  the opposite direction.<br \/>\nThis left the mini bus stuck in the small space, with its mid-section protruding into the main road.<br \/>\nThe  Yutong bus with registration number GN 2674-10, which was moving from  Accra to Kumasi at top speed, rammed into the mini bus, killing  24-year-old Christiana Dansowaah Antwi from New Tafo on the spot.<br \/>\nHer  two-year-old brother, Kelvin Frimpong, died later at the Kyebi  Government Hospital where he was admitted. Dansowaah and Frimpong were  travelling with their 41-year-old mother, who survived the accident,  after attending a funeral at Anyinam.<br \/>\nThe Kyebi Divisional MTTU  Commander, ASP Bernard Ofori Amanfo, who confirmed the accident,  partially blamed the accident on the small nature of the road leading to  the main road and the refusal of drivers to observe traffic regulations  at such main intersections.<br \/>\nAll the injured, including the  mother of the dead, Beatrice Twum, Gladys Tetteh- 23, John Tetteh- 8,  Jonathan Tetteh- 5, Rose Amanor- 16, Samuel Asiedu- 14, Joseph Asare-  43, and Boateng Boamah- 80, are on admission at the Kyebi Hospital  receiving treatment.<br \/>\nASP Ofori Amanfo said the only way accidents  could be prevented at the Bonsu Junction was to either build speed  ramps the road, erect traffic lights at the junction or remove the  pavements on the road and expand the adjoining Koforidua road, as the  one at Asiakwa junction had been done. &#8220;That portion of the road has  been recording very serious accidents and I believe 90 percent of these  accidents could have been prevented so I am pleading with the  authorities to do something urgent about that,&#8221; ASP Amanfo said.<br \/>\nMeanwhile,  residents of Bonsu Jiave expressed concern about the way vehicles moved  at top speed when they got to that portion of the road.<br \/>\n&#8220;The road here is wide and straight and so the cars speed like they are on the Tema motorway,&#8221; a resident told Daily Guide.<br \/>\nThey  therefore appealed to the police to check cars which over-sped, asking  the Ghana Highways Authority to change the design of the road,  especially the one leading to Koforidua, as it was so narrow that big  cars found it very difficult to make a quick turn to Koforidua.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two siblings lost their lives in an accident at Bonsu Junction on the Accra-Kumasi road, Tuesday evening when a 20-seater Yutong bus rammed into a Hyundai Grace mini bus.
