At least 10 people died when a minibus and a rubbish compactor truck collided at the foot of the Galenku Hill in Ho Bankoe on Tuesday, November 21, 2023. The crash occurred around 4 pm when the minibus, travelling towards Ho, ran into the heavy-duty truck ascending the hill.
Reports suggest the bus may have suffered a break failure when descending the hill, leading to the head-on collision.
The minivan was carrying some livestock on its roof, which also died during the crash.
Also noted among the dead were a mother and her baby daughter, which sparked some grieving from onlookers. Personnel of the National Ambulance Service turned up to convey the dead and injured to the Ho Teaching Hospital.
