A Kia truck loaded with turpentine was completely burnt beyond recognition after an accident at Kyekyewere on the Suhum-Nsawam highway in the Ayensuano District of the Eastern Region.
According to eyewitnesses, the truck, which was traveling from Accra towards Suhum, attempted to overtake a fuel tanker but lost control and fell on its side in the middle of the road.
Residents quickly rescued the driver and his mate and rushed them to the hospital.
However, as they attempted to offload the goods, the truck suddenly caught fire and was engulfed in flames.
An eyewitness recounted, “This morning while heading to work, I saw people gathered around the truck. Its tire had burst, and we noticed smoke coming out. Before we could get close, the truck burst into flames. Fortunately, the driver and his mate were taken to the hospital.”
