The students, numbering 30, who were on board the school bus with registration number GN- 7377- Y were being conveyed to school when the driver allegedly lost control of the steering wheel after a brake failure causing the steer to lock automatically.
In an interview with Citi News, the Deputy Eastern Regional Fire PRO AD0-II Daniel Tetteh explained that there were no casualties as the victims are being treated at the hospital.
“All the students were rescued before the arrival of the Ghana National Fire Service [at the scene] so immediately the appliance [of the Fire Service] returned to base.”
He added that the cause of the accident was “attributed to steering lock and brake failure. That is all we had, further investigations are ongoing.”
Koforidua Pentecost Preparatory School is a second cycle institution in the Eastern region of Ghana.
