According to eyewitnesses, a wrongful overtaking by the Ford Transit vehicle which was travelling from Sogakope towards Accra led to the crash.
They said the Ford Transit in an attempt to veer off the road upon sensing danger, collided sideways with the Hyundai Universe Space Bus which was travelling from Kumasi to Aflao.
Apart from a woman who was identified as a seamstress from Sogakope, all other four dead victims are yet to be identified but are believed to be travelling from Aflao or Keta to Accra.
