By Three individuals have tragically lost their lives in an accident in Asseseso, a community in the Okere district of the Eastern Region.
According to reports, the driver of a Toyota minibus with registration number GT 5990-21, traveling from Accra to Somanya, started to fall asleep while driving.
Passengers, recognizing the driver’s fatigue, tried to persuade him to rest during the trip.
Despite their efforts, the driver reportedly lost control of the vehicle, resulting in the accident upon reaching Asseseso.
Out of the 14 occupants onboard, two tragically succumbed to their injuries at the scene, while another individual passed away during treatment at the Yilo Krobo Government Hospital.
The driver, who sustained severe injuries, was swiftly transported to the Atua Government Hospital in Odumase, while ten others received immediate medical attention at the Yilo Krobo Government Hospital in Somanya.
Medical professionals attending to the victims decided to transfer five individuals to the Eastern Regional Hospital in Koforidua for advanced care. Among the transferred patients, three suffered severe head injuries, one sustained a spine injury, and another had broken legs.
Meanwhile, the remaining five patients at the Yilo Krobo Government Hospital are reportedly showing positive signs of recovery, with one expected to be discharged soon.
