Sources say the truck went off the road and somersaulted.
Five people are said to be in critical condition following an accident involving a Nissan pickup on the Akatsi-Wute highway in the southern Akatsi district of the Volta region.
Eyewitnesses told the Ghana News Agency that a white van was transporting mourners from the St. Paul Hospital morgue to Seglakope for a funeral on Saturday when the incident occurred at Worwoenu Abotsigakope Junction.
The seriously injured, four men and one woman, and others who sustained minor injuries, were rushed to Akatsi District Hospital for treatment in some commercial vehicles.
A GNA visit to the scene of the accident saw the van in the bush without the license plates, suggesting it may have somersaulted multiple times.
