Savannah Regional Chairman of the ruling New Patriotic Party, Alhaji Iddrisu Sulemana Professor Kalamonia in the company of the Regional Communications Director and the Daboya/Mankarigu Constituency executives had paid a visit to the deceased families of the Offinso-Abofour accident victims yesterday 7th November 2021.

The delegation first called on the Chief and people of the Tenbeng community where the highest number of the deceased hailed from.

Professor Kalamonia in his speech commiserated with the community and the families of the deceased and injured victims.

He prayed for Allah’s mercies and grace to relieve all the affected persons and their families of pain and anguish.

Professor Kalamonia presented an undisclosed amount of money to each of the deceased families and asked that they get him informed anytime they are ready to perform the funerals.

The Chief of the community expressed his appreciation to Professor Kalamonia and recounted how helpful the MP, Hon. Alhaji Asei Seini and the DCE for North Gonja, Hon. Adam Eliasu Red-Bawa has been ever since they got wind of the unfortunate information.

The team rounded up the visit at Somun, Tari No. 2, and Singa which recorded five, four, and two deceased respectively as a result of the unfortunate incident.

Professor Kalamonia and the rest of the team wished the injured ones speedy recovery and may Allah grant the deceased eternal rest.

Background.

Some 17 persons were reported dead in a fatal accident on the Offinso-Abofour road in the Ashanti Region on Monday morning, November 1,2021.

Sixteen others reportedly sustained injuries and are currently receiving treatment at the hospital.

The Sprinter bus heading towards the northern part of the country is said to have collided with a trailer from the opposite direction, causing the unfortunate accident.

The bodies of the deceased have since been deposited at the morgue, for identification, autopsy and preservation.

The Offinso MTTD Commander, DSP Edmund Nyamekye, said preliminary investigations show that the driver of the trailer may have dozed off, leading to the collision with the Sprinter bus.

“There was a head-on collision. Seventeen people are dead, and others are injured, who have all been rushed to the hospital for treatment. The driver of the Sprinter is also dead but the driver of the articulated truck is in a critical condition. He should have stopped somewhere and relax, but he went on to drive, lost control of the vehicle, and run into a ditch,” he said.

He gave the breakdown of the dead as 14 females and 3 males.

Road traffic fatalities seem to be on the rise, with 1,250 lives lost for the first five months of 2021.

This represents a 26.32% increase over the same period in 2020, with the trend suggesting a record high annual figure by the end of 2021.

Persons who survived the crashes but sustained various injuries for the period were 1,309, a rise of 26.72%.

This means eight lives perish on the country’s roads daily.
