About 13 people are feared dead and several others injured following a vehicle collision at Odumase, near Konongo, on the Kumasi-Accra Highway.

The fatal crash reportedly involved three vehicles: a cargo truck loaded with tomatoes, a passenger bus, and a fuel tanker. Officials say the tanker was empty at the time of the accident.

Although the exact cause of the collision is yet to be established, eyewitnesses claim the incident occurred after an alleged wrongful overtaking attempt, which triggered a head-on crash involving the vehicles.
