Ho: Tragic Accident Claims Lives of Nursing Mother, Baby, and 8 Others

In yet another tragic incident at the foot of the Galenkui mountain in Ho (OLA Top), the Volta Regional capital, a nursing mother and her baby, along with eight other passengers, lost their lives on Tuesday afternoon.

The victims were on board a mini Benz bus with registration number GR 1645 W, descending into town when the vehicle’s brakes failed, leading to a collision with an oncoming garbage collection truck owned by Zoomlion.

The impact of the collision was so severe that it forced the heavy-duty truck off the road, leaving the mini-bus mangled beyond description. Additionally, some livestock on top of the mini-bus also perished in the accident.

Eyewitnesses informed Volta Online that personnel from the Ghana National Fire Service spent about 30 minutes extricating the trapped truck driver, while the bodies of the victims were scattered on the road.

Personnel of the Ambulance Service, swiftly transported the deceased and other yet-to-be-identified injured victims to the Ho Teaching Hospital.

This tragic incident adds to a series of accidents that have occurred in recent weeks along the same stretch of road. Fortunately, the previous incidents did not result in any fatalities.
