According to DO 2 Frederick Adu-Poku, the Municipal Fire Officer for Winneba, the crash resulted from wrongful overtaking by the Sprinter bus, leading to a head-on collision.

He described the incident as preventable and urged drivers to adhere to road safety regulations, particularly as the festive season approaches.

“This accident could have been avoided if the driver had exercised patience and allowed the vehicle ahead of him to proceed. There are road laws in Ghana, and we want all drivers to comply,” DO 2 Adu-Poku stated.
