ACCRA, June 2 (Reuters) – A cargo jet slammed into a minibus at Ghana’s Accra airport on Saturday after overshooting the runway on landing, killing at least 10 people, according to a Reuters witness and an aviation official.
The plane belonged to Nigerian cargo airline Allied Air, according to a civil aviation authority official who asked not to be named. A Reuters witness at the airport said the plane had the words Allied Air on the side.
A badly mangled minibus was beside the plane wreckage, and ten bodies lay nearby, the witness said. Ambulances, police and military were at the scene, he said. (Reporting by Kwasi Kpodo; Writing by Richard Valdmanis; Editing by Robin Pomeroy)
