A Kia truck carrying coconuts crashed into a joyful throng during a float in Agona Asafo in the Agona East District of the Central Region, injuring at least 18 persons, five of whom were critically injured.
Ishmael Odoom, the assembly member for the Agona Asafo Electoral Area, claims that the village celebrates the start of its Akwanbo Festival with an annual football spectacular.
As part of the celebration following the tournament, the victorious team and its fans typically parade through the main streets.
He added that as the joyous mob was on the float, the Kia vehicle, which was carrying coconuts, failed to stop despite noticing the large gathering and crashed into them.
18 individuals were hurt immediately, according to Mr. Odoom, and were sent to the Agona Swedru Government Hospital, where five are still in severe condition.
