8 feared dead, others injured near MankessimBodies left scattered at the scene of the accident have been clearedAt least eight persons are feared dead and scores injured at Ekumfi-Dunkwa near Mankessim on the Accra-Cape Coast highway in a head-on collision said to have been caused by a failed reckless overtaking Friday morning. Images and videos from the scene show bodies lying on the road in blood as parts of the vehicles, particularly the Metro Mass Transit bus involved scattered at the scene. Passengers on the Metro Mass Transit Bus are said to have suffered the most in the accident, which is the second to be recorded in the country Friday. The first accident involving two buses left at least 50 persons dead in the wee hours of Friday, near Kintampo in the Bono East Region. “The Metro Mass driver is dead and the bus seriously mangled …those in the back of the Yutong bus will be safe but those in the front may not survive,” she added.
