A tragic accident occurred on the Kwahu Atibie mountain, resulting in one fatality and 62 others in critical condition.
The accident involved a bus with registration number GE 7652-15, belonging to Monack Football Club in Ningo Prampram.
The bus was carrying players who were returning home after a football tournament at Kwahu Obo.
While descending the mountain, the bus got involved in an accident, trapping five players underneath.
One player died on the spot, while the others were rescued and rushed to nearby hospitals.
The Nkawkaw Fire Command, with assistance from other road users, intervened promptly to rescue those trapped.
The rescued players were taken to the Nkawkaw Holy Family Hospital and Kenop Care Hospital for treatment.
D02 Samuel Mante, the Nkawkaw fire service commander, narrated the incident, stating that the bus was carrying footballers from Ningo Prampram.
Mante confirmed that 63 people were involved in the accident, including one fatality and several others with severe injuries.
Drivers who assisted in the rescue operation called on the government to fix streetlights on that stretch to reduce daily accidents, especially at night.
