Two people lost their lives in a sad head-on collision between two motorbikes on Tuesday, July 2, leaving the Ashanti Region’s Kwaagyekrom community in the Offinso South Municipality shocked.
One of the motorbikes caught fire as a result of the collision’s force, according to witnesses, leaving one of the victims severely burned.
Shortly after the tragedy, the other victim passed away from his injuries.
Alhassan Hamidu, the area’s assemblyman, told Accra’s Asaase Radio that another victim is in serious condition and that medical personnel are attempting to save his life with extreme urgency.
He reported:
“They [the deceased] belong to one family; an uncle and a nephew. One of them had parked on the shoulders of the road making a phone call when the other who was on top speed developed a fault but suddenly crashed into the stationary bike and the impact sparked fire burning one of them beyond recognition.”
“The other one who sustained severe injuries, however, died while receiving treatment at the St Patrick’s hospital.
“Currently, one has been discharged, but another is in critical condition. For now, the police have directed that we convey the motorbike from the scene while the investigation continues,”
The deceased have been named as Aminu Sulemana, 19, and Abudu Seidu, 45. Since then, they have been buried in accordance with Islamic customs.
