At Kwabedu in the Tarkwa Nsuaem Municipality, a horrific accident claimed the life of a thirteen-year-old girl who was en route to school on Friday morning.
The Lee’s Kingdom Kids Montessori School’s Tata school bus, registration number GN 681-11, was involved in the collision at around 6:30 in the morning.
According to information obtained by the media from witnesses who operated stores along the Kwabedu stretch, the bus’s driver was carrying roughly thirty-three adults and children.
They claimed that the bus was carrying kids from Tarkwa to Kwabedu, where the school is situated, but as soon as the driver reached a stretch of road, a taxicab approaching from the other direction passed the car in front of him, and all of a sudden.
As a result, the bus driver, in an attempt to avoid crashing the taxi, swerved after which the vehicle landed in a ditch with the deceased who happened to be passing by to school trapped under it.
All the occupants in the bus who sustained some injuries were rescued and rushed to the Goldfields and the Tarkwa Municipal hospitals by a section of the public who went to the accident scene.
Further checks at the two hospitals by the media revealed that the deceased was pronounced dead on arrival, but all the others have been treated and discharged.
The body has since been deposited at the Tarkwa Municipal Hospital mortuary for preservation and autopsy
