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.
The team was in Obuasi on Friday to inspect some road construction works and was returning to Kumasi to assess work on Kumasi roads when the accident occurred.
