V/R: Akatsi-Wute Accident Leaves Five In Critical Condition

5 persons are said to be in critical condition following an accident involving a Nissan pick up on the Akatsi Wute road in the Akatsi South District of the Volta region. Eyewitnesses told the media, a white pick up was carrying mourners from the St Paul's Hospital morgue on Saturday to Seglakope for a funeral, when

the incident occurred at Worwoenu Abotsigakope Junction. The critically injured, 4 men, a woman and others who sustained minor injuries were rushed to the Akatsi hospital for treatment by some commercial vehicles. A visit by the media to the accident scene saw the pick up in the bush with the number plates removed

suggesting it might have somersaulted several times. Sources say the pick up veered off the road causing it to somersault severally before landing in the nearby bush. Chief Superintendent of Police, Joseph Atsu Dzineku, Akatsi District Police Commander, who confirmed the accident told the media his outfit had taken control of the situation and that details would be disclosed later.
