Bloody head-on collision involving 3 cars leaves scores injured

Several passengers have been left with various degrees of injuries after three cars collided in a near-fatal accident on the Kasoa-Winneba highway in the Central Region Tuesday morning.

According to an eyewitness account, the incident occurred after a 4x4 vehicle enroute Accra from Kasoa tried overtaking another salon car on the highway and ran into an oncoming mini-bus from Accra going to Winneba.

The third vehicle; a salon car, which tried to pave way for the 4x4 to overtake ended up somersaulting and veering into a nearby ditch, injuring the driver in the process.

At the time of reporting, there was heavy vehicular traffic as both cars; the 4x4 and the mini-bus had blocked both sides of the road. Police personnel were however at the scene, trying to control the situation and tow the cars off the road.

The front part of the vehicles were badly damaged and there was blood all over the area.

One of the victims is battling for his life while others are responding to treatment.
