An accident at Bincheratanga on the Bimbilla-Yendi road in the Nanumba North municipality of the Northern Region has left several passengers with injuries of varying degrees.
Eyewitnesses told Channel One News that a speeding Kia truck, attempting to overtake two people on a motorbike, lost control, knocked them down, and overturned onto its side.
One said, “This morning, we saw the car veer off the road, and this is where we are now. For now, some philanthropists have transported a few victims to Yendi Hospital while we wait for an ambulance from the district. There are many casualties, but thankfully, no deaths have been recorded yet. We pray it stays that way. It is a very serious case.”
The driver, Binyali Isaac, said that the truck had 32 passengers on board and that nearly all sustained serious injuries, with many transported to Yendi Hospital for medical attention.
“We were travelling from Yendi to Bimbilla when a motor rider suddenly crossed my vehicle, leading to the accident. The truck was carrying 32 passengers, but I cannot confirm the exact number of those injured,” he stated.
The assemblyman for the area, Kabulja Desmond, also expressed concern over the accident.
“This is an unusual occurrence. It’s my first time witnessing something like this,” he said. “Drivers must be very careful on this road, and pedestrians must also be cautious. This is a very busy route, and we must all prioritize safety.”
