A cargo jet has crash into a minibus at the Airport in Accra-Ghana after overshooting the runway, killing at least 10 people.
Rescue team are working at the site of plane crash outside the El Wak Stadium, less than 10 km from the Accra airport in the capital of Ghana. The accident happened around 7.15pm local time in Accra at the Kotoka International Airport, which is situated near some newly built highly raised buildings, hotels and the country’s Defense Ministry.
Witnesses said the Boeing 727 cargo plane first smashed through the fence that runs around the high-rise buildings before hitting a bus.  A badly mangled minibus as usual was beside the plane wreckage, and 10 bodies lay nearby.
The plane belonged to Nigerian cargo airline Allied Air, according to the civil aviation authority. Police and soldiers quickly surrounded the neighborhood where the plane crashed for protection. The area is near to El-Wak Sports Stadium and Hajj Village, where Muslims in the country stay before they journey to Mecca.
  
A witness reported seeing the plane come down and hit the bus, killing all passengers inside. Billy Anaglate, spokesman for the Ghana Fire Service, said that all 10 passengers in the bus were killed on impact. The plane’s four crew members appear to have survived the crash and were rushed to a local hospital for treatment. “What happened is that the Allied (Air) Cargo plane, actually I was told, was traveling from Nigeria to Ghana. At the landing it was short of the boundary, and it went off onto the road side. It crashed into a bus that was bound for Accra”, said the GFS spokesman

The plane broke a barrier and went onto the road and hit the bus killing all passengers. Ghana’s Vice President John Dramani Mahama ordered aviation officials to launch an investigation.Ghana, has for a long time not experienced any major airplane crash. The last air emergency the country had was somewhere in June 2006, when a TAAG Linhas Aereas De Angola flight to Sao Tome hit birds during takeoff. The plane landed safely and none of the 28 people on-board were injured.
