Aside, the three saloon cars and a mini Kia truck that were partly damaged, the fifth vehicle, a KIA truck with registration number GR 9013-17, loaded with three giant polytanks full of water, had its bucket dislodged from the frame of the vehicle with the water spilling.

Though the police declined to comment on the accident, the driver of the bus, Isaac Ampiah, told the Ghanaian Times that he left Aburi without any fault on the vehicle.

According to him, after descending the Peduase Lodge in a curve, he realised the brakes had ceased working.

Mr Ampiah said he did his best avoid running into oncoming vehicles.

“About 300 metres to the tool both, I saw the mounting traffic and I realised if I tried to use the route, the casualties would be a national disaster and I had to veer off the normal lane and took the opposite lane, which was not that busy”, He told the Ghanaian Times.

Ms Afi Mawuli, an eye witness, said she and others raised the alarm when they realised that the movement of the bus was not normal.

And to avoid falling into a ditch, and running into hawkers and other people beside the road, he controlled the steering wheel until he rammed into about three cars ahead of him to reduce the speed before colliding with six others at the toll booth area.

One of the tollbooth attendants told Graphic Online that he was collecting the tolls, and all that he saw was the bus quickly passing and crushing into the cars.
