One journalist is reported to be in critical condition at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH), while seven others sustained minor injuries in an accident on the Obuasi-Anwiankwanta road.
The incident reportedly occurred on Friday, July 23, 2021.
The journalists were part of a convoy of the Ashanti Regional Minister, Simon Osei Mensah, during the second day of his inspection of projects in the region when a private vehicle rammed into their bus.
On Thursday, the team toured KATH’s Mother and Baby Unit and the Kumasi Airport to assess the progress of work.
