One dead, 10 injured in gory accident at Abura Dunkwa

One person has been confirmed dead while 10 others are in critical condition after a gory accident at Abura Dunkwa in the Abura Asebu Kwamankese District of the Central Region.

Speaking in an interview EIB Network Central Regional Correspondent, Yaw Boagyan, the victims explained that they were in the KIA truck with registration number GN 9757-Z going to Accra but suddenly collided with a taxi with the registration number AC 370-15 on the Abura Dunkwa to Nyankumasi road.
