Four individuals, including a Senior Pastor of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, were allegedly killed after a tipper truck collided with their Mercedes Benz at Ejisu-Achina in the Ashanti Region's Ejisu Municipality.
Two other people were seriously injured in the fatal crash, which occurred at 12:00 p.m. on Tuesday, January 31.
According to eyewitnesses, three of the four victims died on the spot, while the fourth died while seeking care at a hospital.
The account was told by Mr Edward Opoku, who went to the area to assist the rescue team.
"The Benz vehicle with registration number GW 7329-X with the four deceased and en route to Ejisu Achina collided with the tipper truck with registration number GR 9570-22 causing massive destruction to the Benz car.
"When we got to the scene, the four people, three men and a woman, were trapped in the seriously dented vehicle and it took a while for the officials of the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) to cut open the damaged car to rescue the accident victims.
"The SDA pastor we were told was on his way to Achina with his male friend when he lifted two of his church members on his way who were coming from a hospital but their car ended up colliding with the tipper truck.
"The tipper truck driver, who’s currently receiving treatment after sustaining injuries, said he failed break while negotiating a sharp curve on the Achina-Onwe road leading to the gory accident."
Bodies of the deceased have since been deposited at a morgue.
