The Kintampo accident which claimed 61 lives and injured 25 others was caused
by an unlawful overtaking the Brong Ahafo Regional police Command has said.
The PRO for the police command in the region
ASP Christopher Tawiah speaking
on Citi Fm says preliminary investigations reveal the MMT bus driver tried to over
take "in a very sharp curve" on the Kintampo high way.
This is contrary to reports that the driver hit a cow and lost control and
subsequently colliding with the truck driver. Other reports also indicate that the
brake of the bus was faulty.
President John Dramani Mahama early on tweeted a message of condolence to
the bereaved family. So did the main opposition leader Nana Akufo Addo.
ASP Tawiah also confirmed that per the number of deaths the 63 MMT seater bus
may have been overloaded.
"If the Cargo truck was carrying five person it means the bus had about 81," he
says.
