Eight young Ghanaian footballers died while four others are fighting for their lives hospital after the driver of the bus carrying the juvenile team lost control and the vehicle plunged into a the Offinso river on Saturday.

Six players died instantly following the accident in the Ashanti Region and two more succumbed by Saturday night in the hospital as the critically injured players were undergoing treatment.

The lifeless bodies were recovered from the river as people in the nearby towns rushed to the scene to offer their help.

The team that plays in the Colts League – the youth league in Ghana – was travelling from Afrancho, a suburb in Kumasi, but it is not clear what their mission was.

Others say the team was returning from a football competition while reports say they had travelled to register their players for the upcoming season.
