Two people have been confirmed dead with five others in critical condition after a tragic accident at Sokoban in Kumasi.

According to eyewitnesses, the accident occurred when a mini commercial bus also known as ‘trotro’ suffered a brake failure and rammed into another bus.

The vehicle overturned and crashed on her.

The other victim, a lady, was rushed to the hospital but lost her life.
