Metro Mass Transit passengers accuse management of negligence

Metro Mass Transit passengers accuse management of negligence

Passengers on a Metro Mass Transit bus involved in an accident on the Yamoransa-Abura Dunkwa road in the Central Region on Thursday [March 18, 2021] are accusing the company of negligence.

According to them, no company official contacted or engaged them following the incident.

They claimed they were forced to pay their own medical bills after being rushed to the Abura Dunkwa Government Hospital by a kind stranger.

The fifty victims were travelling from Cape Coast to Kumasi on a Metro Mass Transit bus with the registration number GE 5951-18 when the incident occurred.

They claimed a child crossed the street ahead of the speeding bus. The bus struck the child and veered off the road, colliding with an electric pole before flipping over.

They complained that the transportation company did not provide them with alternative transportation or cover their medical expenses.

They also stated that once they arrived at the hospital, many of them did not have enough money to purchase the prescribed medications.

“I was on my way to Kumasi from Cape Coast.” On the Metro Mass bus, I was number eighteen. A child ran in front of the fast-moving vehicle. It hit the child and then veered off the road, colliding with an electric pole. “I was fortunate because I was wearing my seat belt,” Thomas Duah, one of the victims, said.

“Our concern is that they collected money at the hospital despite the fact that I gave them my health insurance card.” “I don’t have any money and don’t know how to get to my destination,” said another victim, Joseph Anane.

According to eyewitnesses, the Metro Mass Transport was travelling at top speed when it veered off its lane, resulting in the accident that killed an eight-year-old child.
