The accident occurred at about 7 p.m. on Sunday when the Scienta, travelling from Cape Coast, reportedly attempted to overtake another vehicle and collided with the oncoming MMT bus from Kumasi.
The deceased were the driver of the Scienta and one of its passengers, while five other occupants sustained injuries. They were taken to a hospital for treatment.
The Central North Regional Motor Traffic and Transport Department (MTTD) Commander, ASP Wonder Lumor, said the vehicle being overtaken by the Scienta had slowed down to make a turn when the Scienta driver moved into the opposite lane.
The driver of the MMT bus, William Aboagye, said there were no fatalities among the passengers on his bus.
He recounted that the collision occurred suddenly as the Scienta moved into the path of the bus while attempting to overtake.
Police have since commenced investigations into the circumstances surrounding the accident.
The latest incident adds to concerns over road crashes associated with risky overtaking, particularly on busy highways where motorists share narrow stretches of road with pedestrians and other road users.
The bodies of the deceased have been conveyed to a health facility for preservation and further procedures.
Authorities are expected to conduct investigations to determine the exact circumstances that led to the crash.
