A tragic head-on collision between two motorbikes has resulted in at least two fatalities.
The incident occurred on Tuesday (2 June) and has left the local community of Kwaagyekrom in the Offinso South Municipality of the Ashanti Region in shock.
Witnesses say the collision caused one of the motorbikes to catch fire, burning one of the victims beyond recognition while the other succumbed to his injuries shortly after the collision.
Assembly member for the area Alhassan Hamidu told Asaase News that another victim is still in critical condition as doctors race to save his life.
“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”, the Assemblyman narrated.
“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 and so this is where we are now”.
The deceased have been identified as Abudu Seidu, 45 and Aminu Sulemana,19. They have since been buried according to Islamic dictates.
