A Daf CF 350 truck with registration number GT 9730-13, driving from Accra to Kumasi with two occupants, loaded with 850 bags of cement on Thursday morning crashed several cars including a school bus when its brake failed at Nsawam in the eastern region.
The incident occurred when driver Abugrago Apuying, 31, responsible for the cement truck, on reaching a stretch of the road in Nsawam as he was going down a slope, reportedly saw his brake broken, hitting several vehicles. .
The affected vehicles which have currently been towed are: Daewoo Matiz taxi with registration number GT 5435-18, Hyundai Pajero S / wagon with registration number GR 7280-11, Kia Pride taxi with registration number GT 5720 -W, unidentified M / Bus Sprinter B and Hyundai H100 bus with registration number GE 2989-12.
Eastern Regional Police deputy spokesman Sgt Francis Gomado, who confirmed the incident, said the cargo truck lost control of its steering wheel and veered into the lane of other vehicles, leaving them no choice but to collide.
He said 15 students and a staff member on board, their 35-year-old driver Samuel Darko and their bus belonging to the Sure Start International School, Nsawam were also involved.
All vehicles were damaged as the students escaped unharmed but are currently being examined by medical staff at the government hospital in Nsawam.
