In a similar incident a few weeks ago, a bus carrying players from the Monarch Football Club was involved in a serious accident in the Kwahu Mountains.

The bus, carrying approximately 60 children and officials of the Ada-based Monarch Football Club, was involved in a serious accident in the early hours of Saturday, August 24, 2024.

The accident occurred at about 3:30am in the Kwahu area of ​​the Eastern Region as the team was returning from a week-long football tournament in Obo Kwahu involving 32 teams.

The accident was reportedly caused by brake failure while the bus was descending the steep and winding Kwahu Mountain en route to Nkawkaw.
