Students Of the Amedzorfe Technical Institute in the Volta Region have been involved in an accident on the Avatime-Amedzorfe road.
This was after the bus they were travelling in skidded off the road and landed in a ditch on Tuesday.
The students were returning from an inter-school sports festival in the Regional capital, Ho, when the accident occurred.
Reports say the transmission system of the bus the students were in failed along the mountainous Amedzorfe road causing the bus to reverse and the driver losing control.
The driver of the vehicle who suffered some severe injury is said to be responding to treatment while the majority of the students have been treated and discharged.
Kofi Atiso, who is the Central Volta Zonal Secretary told Citi News that about 25 students were in the bus when the incident occurred.
“The driver was struggling with the gear and the car started coming backwards. The car somersaulted and by God’s intervention they got stuck someone. There was some bruises and minor injuries but when the chairman and executive visited them, most of them had been treated and discharged. The driver’s injury was critical but he is responding to treatment.”
