The heartbreaking incident has left residents in mourning.
An eyewitness, Mr. Engembe Thomas, told Ghana News Agency (GNA), that the bus, with registration number GW 6575-21, was traveling from Dambai to Kete-Krachi at high speed when it struck the teenager, who suffered severe head injuries and died on the spot.
He lamented the reckless driving habits of some VIP bus drivers, saying “They do not exercise patience when driving through town. They speed without caution,” he stressed.
