Two persons lost their lives in a fatal accident which occurred on Thursday afternoon at Babator-Kuma off the Kintampo-Tamale trunk road in the Bono East Region.
Rescuers from the Kintampo fire station received a distress call at about 1pm on Thursday concerning the accident, the Ghana National Fire Service said.
When the fire personnel arrived at the scene some minutes later, “it was observed that a Toyota Landcruiser with registration Number GR 5031-U had burst a front tyre and veered off the road thereby hitting a tree in the process”.
All the three persons on board were trapped inside the mangled vehicle. Unfortunately two of the occupants who were males died on the spot leaving the female sustaining various degrees of injuries.
The victims – the deceased and rescued passenger – were transported to the Kintampo Municipal Hospital.
The cause of the accident is being investigated by the fire service.
