Plane crash victims’ families cry foul over non-payment of insurance

Sunday June 2, 2013 was one year ago when an Allied Air Cargo plane skidded off the runway at the Kotoka International Airport (KIA) in rainy weather and crashed into a minibus travelling on the El-Wak Stadium-37 Hospital road in Accra.

The aircraft, a Boeing 727-200 operated by Allied Air of Nigeria, had taken off from Lagos and was carrying general goods including textiles, perfume and clothing from Nigeria to Cote d’Ivoire when it overshot the KIA runway and struck the minibus, killing all 10 passengers including the driver.
