TWO women died in an accident last Tuesday when a Toyota Rav 4 on which they were travelling from Kwahu-Obomeng to Accra burst one of its front tyres and somersaulted several times.
Another woman, identified as Kate Anima, 26, who sustained serious injuries, was rushed to the Holy Family Hospital at Nkawkaw. She was later referred to the St Joseph’s Hospital in Koforidua.
The dead, who were identified as Bridget, 26, and Barbara, 28, were with two men returning from the Easter holidays at Kwahu-Obomeng when the accident occurred about 10.30 a.m.
The body of Barbara, who was a Level 300 student of the Central University College in Accra, has been deposited at the morgue of the Enyiresi Government Hospital, while that of Bridget has been put in the Holy Family Hospital morgue.
The two men, identified as Akuffo and Kwadwo Sarfo Boateng, who were also seriously injured, are on admission at the Enyiresi Government Hospital and are reported to be responding to treatment. They are expected to be conveyed to the Abetifi Government Hospital for further treatment.
The officer in charge of the Anyinam Motor Traffic and Transport Unit (MTTU), Inspector Ben Alylmah, who confirmed the accident to the Daily Graphic, said at 10.30 a.m. on Tuesday, his outfit was informed about the fatal accident.
He explained that when personnel of the MTTU rushed to the scene, they found Barbara trapped dead in the vehicle, adding that with the support of some pedestrians, the police were able to retrieve the body from the terribly mangled vehicle.
According to him, the vehicle, which was said to be travelling at top speed, burst one of its front tyres and somersaulted several times while it was negotiating a dangerous curve on the road between Enyiresi and Sekyere-Dankwah on the Accra-Kumasi highway.
