Citi News<\/strong>\u00a0had expressed their disappointment at the driver’s actions arguing that he could have used a better approach to address the matter, instead of putting their lives at risk.<\/p>\nAccording to the passengers, they pleaded with the driver not to chase the saloon car but their cries fell on deaf ears as he jumped out of the bus and into a taxi to continue his pursuit.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn our way, when we passed by a little town called Dadieso, near Nkawkaw, all that I head was a big bang. I was reading by then, so when I raised my head, I saw that the right side of the windscreen had burst and pieces of glass falling all over. So when we tried to find out, we were told that an oncoming car had thrown something and it hit the windscreen,\u201d one passenger said.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut the driver, instead of stopping and checking on the safety of the passengers, he rather in the middle of that small road made a u-turn and started coming towards Accra. I challenged him and he said he was chasing the car from which the object came from. So he parked by the road just by the railway line, abandoned us and left.\u201d<\/p>\n
The passengers eventually joined some VIP vehicles that were also heading towards Kumasi.<\/p>\n
\u201cSome of us, with the help of the driver\u2019s mate, contacted the VIP [head office in Accra] so a few of us had to board some of their buses that were also heading towards Kumasi,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Another lady who was on the bus said: \u201cwe all started shouting at the driver when he reversed the vehicle.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHe [Driver] got out of the bus and jumped unto another VIP bus and sped off. Some of the passengers took taxis and mini vans that were heading to Kumasi. Someone contacted the head office of VIP and they said they will set up a committee to investigate it. I don\u2019t know what they are going to do. It was really terrible. This driver should be called to book,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
