• A road crash at New Ayaase in the Adansi-Fomena District of the Ashanti Region has claimed four lives
• The crash affected three cars and reportedly involved an attempt at wrongful overtaking by one of the drivers involved
• The impact of the crash was so severe that one of the vehicles involved in the collision split into two

Eight people have died following a road crash involving three vehicles at New Ayaase in the Adansi-Fomena District of the Ashanti Region on the afternoon of Tuesday, April 22, 2025.

The cars involved were a Sprinter van, a long bus, and a Toyota Corolla.

Citi News reported that the crash occurred when the Sprinter bus, which was travelling from Kumasi to Fosu, tried to overtake the Toyota Corolla, which was heading towards Fomena.

In the process, the sprinter collided head-on with an oncoming long bus from Kumasi, also forcing the Corolla to veer off the road.

Isaac Adjei, the Assembly Member for Fomena East Electoral Area, told Citi News the impact was so severe that the Sprinter split into two, with one half somersaulting off the road.

This road crash came after 11 people died in a crash at Amanase, near Suhum, along the Accra-Kumasi Highway.

A police report suggested that the driver of the fuel tanker veered out of his lane into the path of the oncoming bus.

A pregnant woman who was involved in the crash sadly lost her unborn child.

Ultrasound scans conducted by health professionals who attended to her moments after she arrived at the Suhum Government Hospital showed that the baby had died due to the severity of the impact.
