Tragedy has struck in the Ashanti Region, where two schoolchildren from the Ben Kunadu SDA Basic School have lost their lives in a devastating bus accident at Aseseeso, between Adukrom and Somanya.
Several other students sustained injuries in the crash, which occurred while the bus was en route to Akosombo for an excursion.
The bus, registered as GV 83-22 and belonging to Collins Senior High School in Asante Agogo, careened out of control while descending the Aseseeso hill, somersaulting multiple times before coming to rest on its side.
The Eastern Regional Minister, Rita Akosua Awatey, who happened to be passing through the area, quickly joined rescue efforts and assisted in transporting some of the injured students to the Yilo Krobo Municipal Hospital in Somanya.
Rescue operations are currently underway, with police, the Ghana National Fire Service, and the National Ambulance Service working tirelessly to recover bodies and assist those trapped under the wreckage.
The total number of casualties remains unconfirmed, but the tragic incident has sent shockwaves throughout the community.
