Three persons died on the spot when a Toyota Hiace bus on which they were travelling from Akyem Oda to Accra was involved in an accident on the outskirts of Asamankese yesterday.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Twelve other passengers sustained various degrees of injury, with one in critical condition.<\/p>\n

The driver of the bus with registration number GT 3901-16, Samuel Afrifa aka Odaman and Alex Amoakohene, a shoe seller at Oda, were two of the three deceased persons.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The third, a male passenger, was yet to be identified at the time of filing this report.<\/p>\n

Lost control\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Briefing the Daily Graphic<\/strong>, the Asamankese Divisional Crime Officer, Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP)\u2008Joe Adams, said the bus was heading towards Asamankese from Oda.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

At a point between Asamankese and Mepom on the Asamankese-Nsawam main road at about 5:30 a.m, Afrifa lost control when he spotted another vehicle from the opposite direction crossing him. He veered off the road and crashed into a tree, resulting in his death and that of the two male passengers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Mr Adams said 12 other passengers on board the vehicle sustained various degrees of injuries and were on admission at the Asamankese Government Hospital.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the bodies of the deceased have been deposited in the morgue at the same hospital.<\/p>\n
