Four nursing students killed in crash
Four final-year students of Community Health
Training School at Tanoso in the Tano North
District of the Brong-Ahafo Region met their
untimely death at dawn on Sunday when the vehicle
they were travelling in reportedly crashed into a
tree.

According to the police, the driver of the Nissan
Primera, registered BA 486 13, was heading towards
Tanoso from Sunyani when the incident occurred at
Abesim, near Sunyani.

The four students are Florence Osei Tutu, 23; Dora
Naza, 24; Gifty Yeboah, 24 and Vivian Coffie.

The vehicle, according to the polic, was being
driven by one Bernard Oppong Gyamfi, who also
sustained serious injuries but is now receiving
treatment at the Brong-Ahafo Regional Hospital.

The bodies have been deposited at the same
hospital for autopsy.

Shedding more light on the accident to DAILY
GUIDE, BA Regional MTTD Commander, Superintendent
Daniel Oppong Asirifi, said it occurred at about
10 minutes after 12 midnight on Sunday near
Glamossay Junction at Abesim.

He said the vehicle was travelling from the
Sunyani direction towards Kumasi but could not
tell exactly where they were coming from.

According to him, there were five occupants in the
car – four ladies and a gentleman. Three of the
females died instantly whilst one died later at
the hospital.

Superintendent Oppong Asirifi said preliminary
investigations so far confirmed that the ladies
were all students of Tanoso Community Health
Training School and the driver (Bernard) is a
production manager of Makainzi Sports Wear Company
Limited in Sunyani.

Though rumours have it that the students
participated in a musical programme at the Sunyani
Coronation Park organized by the organizers of
Ghana Music Awards and were returning from the
programme to school, Superintendent Asirifi could
not confirm it.

He said the driver who could have given some
information as to where they were coming from was
in critical condition and so would not be able to
give any evidence.

He also could not tell whether the driver was
drunk whilst driving as some social media
platforms seem to suggest.

Meanwhile, the mangled vehicle has been towed to
the Sunyani Municipal Police Station for further
examination.
