Residents of the Nungua Barrier were reported at midday to be scooping up petrol from a fuel tanker which overturned a few metres away from the police barrier at The Point.
Details of the accident were sketchy but an eye witness who spoke to Joy News said the residents would not heed the advice of other by-standers to abandon the dangerous practice.
The police were yet to get to the scene of the accident.
The accident follows two fatal others in Techiman in the Brong Ahafo Region where several lives were lost when petrol tankers from which they were scooping fuel after similar accidents exploded in flames.
