Respect shown in funeral of Ghana youth team crash casualties

Seven Ghanaian youth players who died in a crash last month have been laid to rest on Thursday.

The deceased, aged between 12 and 16 years of age, were members of the Africa Vision Soccer Academy who were travelling back home to the Ashanti regional town of Offinso to Afrancho following a league registration exercise ahead of the new league season.

The bus crashed into a river, claiming lives and leaving many others injured.
