The Minister for Transport, Kwaku Ofori Asiamah, could not control himself when he shed tears after visiting the mass burial site of 38 victims of last Friday’s Kintampo road crash who were burnt beyond recognition.
He was however, consoled by his colleague Minister for Roads and Highways, Kwasi Amoako Atta, who accompanied him to the burial site.
The two ministers who were accompanied by the Executive Director of the Ghana National Road Safety Commission (NRSC), Ing. May Obiri Yeboah and personnel from both Techiman and Kintampo Police Commands, also visited the accident scene at Ampomakrom in the Kintampo South District.
The team on Monday, March 25, 2019, embarked on a similar mission where they visited victims of the Ekumfi road crash which also happened on the same Friday, March 22, 2019, at Trauma & Specialist Hospital, Winneba and the St. Luke Holy Family Hospital, Apam, as well as the accident scene.
The driver of the KIA Grand Bird, according to the narration of the surviving victims, was over speeding and at a point dosing off, disregarding all the numerous calls from the passengers onboard to slow down.
