Four Injured as STC Bus Collides With Taxi at Konongo, One Victim Trapped in Wreckage
Four people have been left nursing injuries following a collision between a State Transport Corporation bus and a Kia Picanto taxi at Konongo Akrantiebesa on Friday, June 5, with one victim having to be cut free from the mangled wreckage by firefighters.
Personnel from the Ghana National Fire Service at the Konongo-Odumasi Fire Station responded to the emergency, arriving to find a scene of significant destruction. The impact of the crash had left the Kia Picanto severely crumpled, with its engine compartment completely crushed — a testament to the force of the collision.
Before firefighters reached the scene, residents in the area had already stepped in, pulling three of the injured victims from the wreckage and transporting them to Steward Hospital for treatment.
