Ashanti Region: Two burnt to death in head-on motorbike collision in Kwaagyekrom

A tragic head-on collision between two motorbikes has resulted in at least two fatalities.

The incident happened on Tuesday, June 2, and it shocked the people of Kwaagyekrom, which is in the Offinso South Municipality of the Ashanti Region.

According to witnesses, one of the motorcycles caught fire as a result of the collision, scorching one of the victims beyond recognition while the other soon passed away from his wounds.

Alhassan Hamidu, the local assemblyman, told Asaase News monitored by Puretvonline.com that a second victim is still in serious condition and that medical professionals are working quickly to preserve 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 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 motorcycle from the scene while the investigation continues, and so this is where we are now.”.

The deceased have been named as Aminu Sulemana, 19, and Abudu Seidu, 45. Since then, they have been buried in accordance with Islamic law.
