2016 Ghana bus collision At least 71 people were killed and 13 others injured in a head-on collision between a bus and a truck in Ghana on 18 February 2016. The government-operated bus was heading to Tamale when it collided head-on with the cargo truck, which was carrying tomatoes, near the town of Kintampo on Wednesday evening. A regional police spokesman said: “It was very serious … we had to use chainsaws to cut through parts of the mangled bus to get bodies and survivors out. The police affirmed it was one of the worst road accident in Ghana in years. Even if the cause of the accident is unknow, some sources said that it could have been a problem of brakes, but speeding could also been in cause. It seems the bus was overload, carrying more than the maximum of 63 passengers.
