An unidentified male passenger in an Aflao-Kumasi-bound vehicle was discovered dead after they arrived at their final destination at Asafo in Kumasi.
According to other passengers on board the commercial bus, they thought he was asleep only to realize later that he was dead when he failed to alight from the vehicle.
The station master at the Asafo Labour Taxi station, Owusu Banahene, told journalists that the driver, upon the shocking discovery, reported the issue to the police.
The police then transported the body to the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital morgue.
Meanwhile, he said the family of the deceased has been contacted and the driver is assisting the police with the investigation.
In March 2023, a passenger believed to be in his 60s also died in a commercial vehicle traveling from Kumasi to Mankessim in the Central Region.
Reports indicated that the man was escorted by another person to the lorry station to board a Benz Sprinter bus with registration number A965-12 and showed no sign of sickness.
He sat on the seat right behind the driver holding a piece of paper with a phone number written on it.
Midway through the journey, a hawker who approached the vehicle to sell bread to some passengers realized the man was dead.
Out of fear, the others abandoned the vehicle and continued their journey, leaving the deceased and the driver on the bus.
