A man in his mid-forties has been killed with several passengers in critical condition following an accident on the Tema Motorway.
The accident occurred in the early hours of Friday near the Ashaiman-Klagon under bridge section of the motorway.
It involved a Hyundai Mini-Bus with registration number GT 3766-16 and a petrol tanker with registration number AS 8113-11.
Information gathered by Adom News indicated that the mini-bus was travelling from Aflao to Accra while the tanker was travelling from Accra towards Tema direction.
Narrating the incident, witnesses said a saloon car joined the motorway from the Klagon road through an unapproved route, jumping into the lane of the on-coming petrol tanker.
The tanker driver, in an attempt to save the saloon car, lost control and crossed the middle basement and crashed the Hyundai minibus.
