Residents of Gomoa Mampong, on the Kasoa-Winneba highway in the central region, are very angry with the government for not duplicating the Kasoa-Cape Coast section of the highway.
According to them, this government neglect is killing too many people on the Kasoa-Cape Coast highway.
Some residents who spoke to Adom News said many executives who use the stretch saw the dangers of using the road but ignored them.
A resident also called on President Akufo-Addo and the Minister of Roads and Highways to double the Kasoa-Cape Cast highway to save the lives of ordinary Ghanaians because the death toll on that stretch of road is too high.
Their concern comes after 10 people died while scores of people were injured in an accident on this section of the highway on Sunday August 22 in Gomoa Mampong.
The injured were taken to Winneba Trauma Hospital for treatment. The deceased is said to be made up of six men and four women.
Information reaching JoyNews revealed that both buses made an unwarranted overtaking, resulting in the bloody incident.
The Boss bus with registration number GN 4741-10 is said to have come from Takoradi to Accra while the Deploma bus with registration number GS 6262-19 was from Accra to Côte d’Ivoire.
A survivor, Yaa Maggie, lost her brother in the crash. She revealed that they were traveling to Accra to celebrate the wedding of another brother.
Meanwhile, talking to Adom News, some residents have expressed their concern following the delay of the Ambulance Service agents.
A resident said that the Service did not select the victims of the accident on time despite numerous calls made to them.
In addition, the commander of the municipal fire department of Winneba, DO1 Henry Asiedu, called on the Ministry of Transport to force transport companies to buy two-door buses.
According to him, some of the victims of the accident could have survived if the two cars had an exit point.
