Ten people were killed early Monday in a collision between a passenger bus and a diesel trailer on Ghana’s Accra–Kumasi Highway, according to the Ghana National Fire Service.

The accident occurred near Mile 44 at approximately 4:24 a.m., when emergency responders from the Suhum Municipal Fire Station were dispatched following a distress call. A seven-member team arrived within minutes and began rescue operations at the scene.

Preliminary findings indicate the crash was caused by the bus driver attempting to overtake improperly, leading to a collision with the oncoming trailer. The bus was carrying 33 passengers at the time.

Authorities confirmed that 10 individuals—nine men and one woman—died in the incident. Investigations are ongoing.
