The accident occurred when a fully loaded 207 passenger bus numbered GY 2520-13 rammed into a stationary timber truck with registration number GT874 Friday dawn.
Twelve passengers in the 207 bus died instantly.
Speaking to Starr Fm, the divisional Police Commander, Superintendent Ohene Boadi Bossman, confirmed the news. Boad told the station that the bus may have crashed into the truck because it was packed in the middle of the road.
