A husband, wife and their infant baby have lost their lives following a tragic accident.
Reports suggest the tragic incident occurred at Buduatta Junction on the Kasoa-Winneba Highway in the Central Region.
The tragic road accident involved their private car with registration number DV 9546, a fuel tanker with registration number GN 4328-15, and a tipper truck with registration number GT 9026-26.
The information gathered suggests that the family were travelling from Winneba to Kasoa when their private vehicle lost control after a pickup vehicle made a dangerous overtaking manoeuvre, leading to a head-on collision with the tanker.
Reports suggest the husband and wife died at the scene, while the baby succumbed to injuries later at St. Gregory Catholic Hospital.

Netizen reacting to the tragic news wrote, “The rate at which people are dying by road accidents, particularly this year, is alarming
Before the election, things went on”.
A netizen added, “If the reports are true, the pickup driver should be charged and sentenced to prison for manslaughter.
People need to take responsibility for God’s sake!
People need to be held liable for their actions.
We see a lot of stupid driving on the roads.
Licenses are easy to get”.
“It’s raining heavily, the road is slippery, but somehow drivers still drive at top speeds.
Where’s the common sense?”, one X user added.
A netizen added, “It’s always about the speed, always about speed, overtaking to where? To go and do absolutely nothing!”.
“I’ve been using that stretch since the construction began, and I can confidently say that most drivers disregard the speed limit signs on the road.
I’m not surprised about the recent accidents because the rains have set in, and drivers will always disregard these signs”, one X user added.
“Such matters should be taken to court and the prosecution made live on TV to set up a deterrent to idiots who drive carelessly on our roads and highways.
Life imprisonment with hard labour for everyone involved who is at fault
What is all this?”, a netizen added.
“Ghana here, our roads are bad, but if you’ve been using the Accra -Kumasi very often, u will be surprised how drivers move on that road. Sometimes u will ask yourself if they are immune to accidents cos eei”, an X user added.
