7 killed on Amasaman-Nsawam road as truck runs over mini bus

Seven people reportedly died on Monday, February 5, 2024, when a truck ran over a mini-bus [trotro], on the Amasaman-Nsawam portion of the N6 highway in Greater Accra.

Three others reportedly survived the accident.

Due to the ongoing reconstruction of the Pokuase-Nsawam portion of the N6 highway, the mini-bus driver is said to have slowed down at a portion of the road which had a pothole.

But the truck which was following it with speed was unable to also slow down.

According to eyewitnesses, the truck ran over the minibus [trotro] from behind, killing the passengers on the bus.

The victims were unresponsive when eyewitnesses managed to remove them from the mangled vehicle.
