More than 30 people lost their lives in a fatal road crash early Tuesday in South Ghana’s Komenda, local media reported.

The accident involved two buses from a local transport company, which were traveling in opposite directions.

The crash occurred when the Takoradi-bound bus tried to overtake another vehicle but ended up colliding with the other bus driving towards Accra.

A team of personnel from the police has been dispatched from the headquarters to visit the accident scene to assess the situation and investigate the course of the crash.
