17 badly hurt in another road crash

Barely 24 hours after the nation had been badly shaken by a gory road crash at Kintampo that claimed dozens of lives, there had been another crash, this time at Kona in the Sekyere-South District.

Seventeen (17) people suffered deep cuts and broken bones, when a mini-bus and a Nissan Pick-up collided head-on.

The District Police Commander, Mr Akwasi Asante, told newsmen that nobody has been confirmed dead.

The condition of many of the victims, however, was critical and had been rushed to the Agona Government Hospital.

The two vehicles were coming from opposite direction and that they were yet to determine the cause.
