A gruesome road accident at Hosita in the Ho Municipality has claimed two lives, leaving several others injured on Monday.
The accident occurred on December 15, 2025, in the Volta Region, involving a black Toyota Land Cruiser with registration number CR 2318-25 and a green Hyundai Urvan bus with registration number GE 1005 Y.
An eyewitness told the Ghana News Agency (GNA) that the Toyota Land Cruiser, travelling from Ho towards the Adaklu side, attempted to overtake another vehicle.
According to the witness, the manoeuvre resulted in a head-on collision with the Hyundai Minibus, which was conveying passengers from Adidome to Ho, leading to the fatalities and injuries.
Victims of the crash were rushed to the Ho Teaching Hospital, largely by private individuals, who converged on the scene before the arrival of emergency services.
Personnel of the National Ambulance Service arrived later and explained that the delay was due to an earlier assignment involving the transportation of another patient at the time the distress call was received.
An Ambulance Service officer, who spoke to GNA on condition of anonymity, said, “There is pressure on the only ambulance vehicle serving the entire Ho Municipality and sometimes areas outside it,” and appealed to authorities to provide backup vehicles.
Officers from the Motor Traffic and Transport Department (MTTD) of the Ghana Police Service also arrived at the scene, assisted in the rescue operation, and pledged to investigate thoroughly to determine the exact cause of the accident.
