The Ada East District Police Command has confirmed the incident and said investigations are ongoing to establish the exact cause of the tyre burst and whether the vehicle was overloaded. The Command urged commercial drivers plying the Accra-Aflao route to adhere to speed limits and ensure regular vehicle maintenance.

Road crashes involving Sprinter buses have been on the rise in Ghana due to tyre bursts and brake failures. The National Road Safety Authority (NRSA) is expected to visit the injured and intensify education on defensive driving as the Christmas season approaches.
