Two people have been killed and 21 others injured after a church bus carrying Adom Kyei’s Church members crashed.
According to reports, the tragic incident occurred on the Assin Fosu–Kumasi highway on the night of January 1, 2025.
The crash occurred around 9:00 p.m. when a church-branded bus returning worshippers from a 31st Night service in Kumasi rammed into a crowd gathered for a street parade at Assin Dansame.
The bus, upon reaching Assin Dansame, collided with a crowd participating in a street parade, killing a 21-year-old apprentice and a Sunyani Technical University student, Maame Yaa, and another victim who died on the spot.
Reports suggest 21 other people sustained various degrees of injury and were rushed to different hospitals across the region.
The information gathered suggests the accident sparked outrage among residents, which led to the youths vandalising the bus.
The bus was completely destroyed; however, the Police were deployed to restore calm.
ASP Wonder Lumor of the Central North Regional MTTD Commander confirmed the incident.
He revealed investigations have been launched to determine the cause of the crash.
Some netizens reacting to the news stated, “The rising accidents on the Accra–Kumasi road have become a serious public canker. It’s hard to tell what leadership is doing, but urgent, thorough investigations must be launched and the real causes addressed immediately. No human life is too small”.
One X user added, “The entire Ghana arterial roads needed to be reconstructed. Our road lacks engineering capacity. Hence, it has become a graveyard. Citizens need to hold present and past governments accountable. Simply, politicians had done more harm than good to Ghana”.
“Ghanaians and their fake pastors. They all didn’t see this, but will be busy predicting who will win the NPP flagbearership. Confused charlatans. How can grown adults be so easily deceived? It’s actually very crazy”, one netizen added.
An additional X user added, “Fosu Road is no joke oo…lots of parked trailers on the road. Timber long vehicles thread that road often, tricky curves with no sight of incoming vehicles till you are in front of it. Before you reach your destination, you will shout, “Jesus,” at least 5 times before you get there”
