Bibiani NPP cautions drivers

The Bibiani-Anhwiaso-Bekwai constituency of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Western region, has cautioned drivers plying the Bibiani-Kumasi road to be extra cautious to reduce the spate of accidents.

A statement signed by Mr Philip Nuako, the constituency chairman, said the party had observed with great concern the rampant accidents some of which were very fatal on the Bibiani-Kumasi road in recent times.

It said innocent lives were lost and mentioned in particular the recent accident involving a mini bus and an articulated truck in which about 16 people died.
