A surviving victim, Hajia Bintu Karim, said “I suspect the vehicle was overloaded. When I came in the morning and saw the car, I complained, but left the issue in the hands of God.”

“When I came to the station, I realised the tyres of the vehicle were flat. I said to myself, it could be that this vehicle is overloaded. I was travelling with my little child who was on my lap. The car was on its way when there was a sudden crash,” another survivor shared.

The victims are being treated at the Bimbilla Government hospital and those in critical conditions have been referred to the Tamale Teaching hospital.
