Seventeen people died in two separate grisly accidents near Konongo in Kumasi, some 260 km north of the capital, a senior police officer confirmed to local media on Friday.
Twelve persons died instantly Friday dawn after a 23-seater fully loaded mini bus rammed into a stationary timber truck.
Superintendent Bossman Ohene Boadi, the Divisional Police Commander for the area, said the bus may have crashed into the truck because it was packed in the middle of the highway.
An earlier accident at the same spot killed five people Thursday night, he confirmed, saying his unit was doing their best to get the stationary trucks out of the road to prevent further deaths.
