According to an eyewitness the driver of the metro mass transport which was heading to Cape Coast upon reaching Potsin saw the trailer with registration number BL 4582 about to park on the shoulder of the road.
An attempt to overtake the trailer would have resulted in the metro mass bus engaged in a head on collision with an articular truck leaving the metro mass transport with the only option of hitting the rear of the trailer causing the accident.
“What I saw was the metro mass transport speeding so in the process he met the trailer vehicle which was in the process of parking at Potsin junction but because the Metro Mass bus was speeding it was difficult for it to slow down. There was another vehicle from the opposite direction and driving towards that side would have resulted in further damage so the driver had no choice than to hit the rear of the trailer resulting in the accident”Ebo Anderson an eyewitness said.
