The ferry, which was on its way to Yeji began sinking an hour into the journey, as the load on the ferry appeared too heavy, Accra-based Joy FM has reported.
The ferry was carrying about four loaded cargo trucks aside other passengers mainly market women.
An eyewitness told Accra-based Joy FM that several of the passengers are currently fighting for their lives, as many are desperately pumping water out of the ferry to keep it afloat.
