I was listening to the commentary on this accident. It was sad to hear that the whole kintampo area has no ambulance. The injured were at the mercy of taxi and pick up drivers. Yet the government officials in the area have land cruisers. These same officials claim they are serving the people and the community. Are they serving or they are being served? A government of the politicians, by the politicians and for the politicians. That is the kind of government Ghana is practicing.

Otabil warned us that all die be die is the worst sin. Yet we are following Nana Addo, the originator of all die be die, why won't such sad things happen to us?

May the souls of the dead RIP.

Some journalist! If the metro-mass is from Tamale heading to Kumasi and the tomatoes truck is from Navrongo then obviously it is also heading south. So how come two south-bound vehicles got involved in a collision? Hmmm... may their souls rest in peace. Whenis this carnage going to stop on our roads?

The reporter has no sense of direction nor even knowledgeable about the location of the accident and just rushed to file a rubbish report and their editors are also same breed!

There certainly might have been an accident with many people dead. The important thing to do now is to condole with the families involved.

Frank,that Metro Bus drivers are one of the worst drivers on the roads in Ghana,I personally two times warned those drivers for careless driving on the road,they have no respect for traffic laws and they are above traffic laws,police don't stop or pull them over,they go at any speed they want and always tailgating other drivers,they think they are above the law,it is a lawless company so anytime I hear they are involved in accident I'm not surprised.

The Metro Mass Transport Company was taken over in a Rambo style by the NDC Foot soldiers, soon after Ata Mills took over from the Kuffuor administration. As such, 99% of the management and employees, especially the drivers, are all untrained. This is the major reason why the Metro Mass transport company has become an eye sore and carnage on the Ghanaian roads. When party politics becomes the only means party followers can butter their bread, of course, this is some of the results to be seen. The NDC politics led by Atta Mills, and John Mahama to rule Ghana at all cost, without the rules of the political game, by taking advantage of the Ghanaian impoverishment and illiteracy is to blame. Shame on you NDC, Ghanaians, this is what you get for being "stupidly ungrateful", I care for you, indeed!

Once I was driving around 8 or 9 PM on the highway near Abelemkpe towards Tetteh Quarshie. No street lights, nothing.
All of a sudden, here is the back of a broken down articulator in front of me. Come and see. Luckily for me, no one was coming in the other lane. What a fuck that would have been!
It all boils down to lack of street lights, that's all.
May the RIP.

Are the two vehicles travelling in the same direction? According to your statements one is a kumasi bound Metro Mass Transit Bus and the other is a lorry carrying tomatoes from Navrongo. That prsupposes they are traveling in the same direction. How could it then be a head on collision? If you want us to believe you report accurately. Or are you confused with directions?

The reporter is sitting in Accra and concocting stories. I bet the reporter has no idea where Tamale, Navrongo, Kumasi are and even the location: Kintampo! This is the kind of journalists that we have currently in the system. They are half-baked! They just rush to file reports just to be labelled as the first to report even if it is garbage!

It could be the metro-mass bus ran into the Navrongo truck loaded with tomatoes which might have broken down on the road and stationary. Those trucks are poorly maintained and you will find them crawling on that stretch of the road with those steep hilly curves.
The reporter with his/her inadequate English vocabs sees any accident as a head-on collision which infact means two vehicles coming from the opposite directions colliding face to face. Brofo ye dru!

Metro bus no longer operates Tamale-Kumasi so the reporter must get his facts correct. This is a sad story though. My condolences to the victims' families.

In this day and age who in his right mind will construct one lane highway with many vehicles in the system. The so called highways in Ghana are death traps, head collisions are bound to occur during any accident. Now to fix the problems the authority will blame the drivers for the accident, which is not true, the blame falls on the heads of those who constructed these death traps in the country.The Ghanaian intellectuals have failed the masses, why will they allow these roads to be constructed in the country baffles me, because one lane highways was good then, when there were fewer vehicles on our roads in the fifties through the seventies, but not now, Ghana needs two or three lane highways on our major roads, not in the cities which does not make sense.
