The management of Archbishop Porter Girls Senior High School, has debunked reports that some of its students had been involved in a fatal accident on their way to the school from the Christmas break.<\/p>\n
Rumours widely circulated on social media on Monday, suggesting the students died when a vehicle they were aboard collided with another vehicle at Gomoa Adam junction in the Central Region.<\/p>\n
But the Assistant Headmistress, in charge of Administration of the school, Charlotte Asiedu Musa, who spoke to Citi News <\/strong>off record, said although there was an accident on that stretch on Monday, none of its students were involved.<\/p>\n She therefore called on parents and guardians of students of the school to remain calm as their wards were safe.<\/p>\n In a related development, twenty-four persons escaped death, but sustained various degrees of injuries after a Sprinter Bus they were travelling in, collided with a Toyota V8 car near the Gomoa Adam Junction in the Central Region.<\/p>\n The Central Regional Manager of the National Road Safety Commission, Stephen Anokye in an interview with Citi News<\/strong>,\u00a0<\/strong>said, the Sprinter Bus was headed for Bogoso in the Western Region when the crash happened.<\/p>\n \u201cAt about 1.30pm yesterday [Monday], the Sprinter Benz bus from Accra to Bogoso upon reaching a section of the road near Gomoa Adam junction, collided with a Toyota V8 which was headed for Accra. The Toyota V8 was trying to avoid a lunatic who was walking on his side of the road and in an\u00a0attempt to do that, he hit the side of the Benz bus and it [bus] veered off the road into the bush, landing on the side of the driver.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cAll occupants of the bus sustained serious injuries and they have since been rushed to the Apam Catholic Hospital for treatment.\u201d<\/p>\n Stephen Anokye noted that, the driver of the Toyota vehicle was also receiving treatment after suffering some injuries from the accident.<\/p>\n The Police have since launched an investigation into the matter.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n –<\/p>\n By: Jonas Nyabor\/citifmonline.com\/Ghana
