A road accident occurred at Patasi in Kumasi on Sunday, August 18, involving a Mercedes Benz and a Sprinter bus.
According to eyewitnesses, the crash happened when a 10-year-old boy attempted to cross the road. The Benz driver swerved to avoid hitting the child but collided with the oncoming Sprinter bus.
The National Ambulance Service confirmed that the Sprinter driver was injured and rushed to Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital for treatment.
A resident, Madam Yaa Dufie, expressed concern about reckless driving in the area, saying overspeeding by private car drivers often puts pedestrians at risk.
The Ashanti Regional Police Command has confirmed that the Mercedes Benz driver is currently in custody at the Patasi Police Station while investigations continue.
