ACCRA (Reuters) - At least 18 people were killed when a large tree fell into the pool they were bathing in at the base of a waterfall in Ghana, crushing people enjoying a day out at a popular beauty spot, police said.
The waterfall, near the town of Kintampo, was busy with weekend daytrippers, many of them students, when the freak accident struck on Sunday.
A further 20 people were being treated in hospital, Desmond Owusu Boampong, a local police commander, told Reuters.
