[Claude, second read] Rates it MEDIUM, not HIGH. Specific new accident with 8 deaths; 5+ dead would be high, but the 'high' bar is for bombings, strikes and mass-casualty disasters, and a road collision with 8. Lowered from HIGH to MEDIUM.

[Claude] Report 2 covers the same Azuletti bus collision on the Elubo–Takoradi highway with the same death toll of eight, so it is the same event and does not conflict.
