A tragic incident has shaken the Kansawrodo community in the Western Region of Ghana, as a young pupil reportedly lost his life after falling out of a moving school bus belonging to Justmat Education Complex, an earlier report by Connect FM on Facebook.
The school bus was transporting students to Justmat Education Complex, a well-known private school in Kansawrodo, a neighborhood situated near the Sekondi-Takoradi metropolis.
Details surrounding the circumstances of the fall remain unclear, but initial reports suggest that the child may have fallen due to a possible malfunction or negligence involving the door of the vehicle. Some residents allege the bus was in motion when the incident occurred, and attempts to rush the child to the nearest medical facility proved futile.
The management of Justmat Education Complex has yet to release an official statement. Grief and shock have swept through the community, with many calling for stricter safety regulations for school transportation services.
The identity of the deceased child has been withheld as family members are being notified. More updates are expected as the investigation unfolds.
