A tragic accident at Sokoban in Kumasi has resulted in two confirmed deaths and five others in critical condition.

The accident occurred when a mini commercial bus, also known as a 'trotro,' suffered a brake failure and collided with another bus.

Eyewitnesses reported that one of the deceased, a middle-aged woman, attempted to escape the accident by rushing out of the car. Unfortunately, the vehicle overturned and crashed on her.

The other victim, a lady, was rushed to the hospital but succumbed to her injuries.

Five other passengers who were on board the vehicle sustained injuries and were also rushed to the hospital.

The road stretch where the accident occurred has been a site of multiple fatal accidents in the past year, as construction has stalled.

Residents, motorists, and commuters are calling for the one-kilometre stretch to be fixed to prevent further tragedies.
