The accident was confirmed by the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS).
The crash involved a 40-seater Zhong Tong bus with registration number AS 7022-21 and a Man Diesel truck with registration number GW 3969-U, both of which were in motion at the time of the collision.
Eyewitnesses said the bus, which was allegedly travelling at high speed, crashed into the truck.
Among the injured were 21 males and 17 females, while the occupants of the truck escaped unhurt.
The GNFS rescue team, led by ADO II Bernard Boamah, was dispatched at 6:59 a.m. and arrived at the scene at 7:07 a.m.
