In a collision that happened on the Kasoa-Malam highway Wednesday morning, about eight passengers including a senior high school student suffered various degrees of injuries.

According to eyewitnesses, the driver of the sprinter bus with license plate GR 6669-13 lost control of the steering wheel when another car merged into his lane in front of him.

This led to the bus spinning out of control and crashing.

The injured passengers were saved by onlookers and swiftly transported to neighboring medical facilities for treatment.

The driver of the car engaged in the collision did not have the necessary license to drive the car, according to the police’s investigation on the site.

The motorist was only in possession of a class B license, not a class C license.

A passenger identified as Akwesi Acquah said, “I was travelling to Madina but on our way our driver was careless. Another car switched lanes and I don’t know what happened and all of a sudden the vehicle somersaulted. It wasn’t any serious thing but the driver as a result of his inexperience caused the vehicle to fall.”

“I thank God that I am alive because what happened was serious. A lot of people sustained severe injuries and have been rushed to the hospital,” Maame Akua Amoah said.

The driver of the passenger car was later taken to the police station while the vehicle was towed.
