At least one person has died following a gas explosion at the Tamale Industrial Area in the Northern Region, Wednesday.
Three others are reported to be in critical condition and have been rushed to the Tamale Hospital for treatment.
The explosion is reported to have started inside a mechanic shop at the Industrial Area, where the fire later touched nearby vehicles.
The deceased was working on a truck that had been delivered to his shop when the explosion started, Joy News’ Northern regional Correspondent, Martina Bugri has reported.
The reporter who visited the scene said the deceased whose name has not been disclosed was burnt beyond recognition.
Martina also said the explosion ripped off some electric cables in the area which has cut power supply to the area for the time being.
The fire affected properties in other areas, she said.
