The burnt bodies according to report include a 12-year old and a police officer.
Family of the late police officer have been able to identify his remains but say they will have to deal with the police administration before they take the body for burial.
Meanwhile Municipal Chief Executive of the Kintampo area Michael Sarkodie Baffour says they may be forced to organize a mass burial as it has become difficult to identify the bodies because they are burnt beyond recognition.
"For now we have no option except to ask the medical authorities how they can identify the bodies else we would have to go with a mass burial".
The Kintampo accident involved a Yutong bus and a Sprinter bus which collided head-on and caught fire.
