The journalists were returning to Accra from Ho where President John Mahama had attended the annual convention of the Evangelical Presbyterian (EP) Church.
Benjamin Xornam Glover reported that the police told him a total of 12 people were on the vehicle, a Ford GMC with registration number GB 506 – 12.
According to the police the left rear tyre of the vehicle burst and in an attempt to control the vehicle, the driver applied the brakes and the vehicle veered off the road.
President John Dramani Mahama and his entourage were not in the convoy.
Four others in critical condition
A statement issued by the Communications Minister Dr Edward Omane Boamah late Thursday night said four of the injured journalists were battling for their lives at the 37 Military Hospital.
They were named as Ghana Broadcasting Corporation’s Pascaline Adadevoh and Napoleon Ato Kittoe of GTV, Patrick Bida of the Enquirer and William Gyentu of Peace FM.
The deceased Nuamah left behind a wife and a daughter who are both based in the United States.
