A tragic road crash at Kwashieman in Accra has left several people feared dead following a violent collision involving a passenger bus and a truck.
The incident occurred around 4 am on Good Friday, April 3, 2026, when a Grand Bird bus travelling from Takoradi towards Sowutuom attempted to turn at the Kwashieman traffic light.
At the same time, a truck loaded with onions was approaching the intersection from the Lapaz direction, heading towards the Kasoa stretch.
Reports indicate that the truck was moving on an amber light when the bus driver proceeded with the turn. Despite repeated honking by the truck driver to alert the bus, the two vehicles collided with a powerful impact.
The force of the crash pushed the truck off its path, causing it to veer into pedestrians who had gathered at the traffic light waiting to cross the road.
Eyewitnesses described the scene as devastating, with the extent of damage and injuries sparking panic among bystanders.
The bus was reportedly carrying passengers who were attending a convention.
Police say the severity of the crash has made it difficult to immediately determine the number of casualties. Investigations into the incident are ongoing.
