Three KNUST students were hospitalized after a car accident on campus.
At least three people, who are believed to be Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) students, are being treated at a hospital after their vehicle was involved in an accident on campus.
The accident happened around 6 p.m. on the Brunei-Katanga road and involved a white Toyota Corolla with registration number AW 5652-21 and an unknown vehicle.
"They got into a speed race on the Brunei road," an eyewitness on a bicycle at the time told dailymailgh.com. "As a result, the driver of the Toyota Corolla engaged in a wrongful overtaking maneuver, colliding with the barriers." "The car flipped three times."
This development has been reported to the police and university authorities.
Three students from Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) died in separate accidents on campus Saturday in March 2021.
According to university officials, the first incident occurred around 3 a.m. local time when a vehicle carrying at least five occupants was involved in an accident.
Two of them were pronounced dead, while the others, including a University of Ghana student, were being treated at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH).
"They crashed into a tree by the roadside [on campus], and two of them died," Dr. Daniel Norris Beckoe, a University Relations Officer, told Accra-based JoyNews.
A committee was formed to look into the incident.
