Two persons were burnt beyond recognition when the Audi Saloon car; with registration number GT 9276 Z, on which they were travelling from Tema to Accra on Friday night skidded off the Accra-Tema Motorway, somersaulted and caught fire.The car; which somersaulted across two rails on the motorway, landed on its roof, with the wheels up in the air, before bursting into flames.When the Daily Graphic got to the scene, the car was angled and completely burnt. Personnel from the Tema Regional Office of the, Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) who went to the scene could only assist to retrieve the charred bodies of the victims into sacks to be sent to the 37 Military Hospital by the police.According to the Public Relations Officer of the GNFS, Mr Prince Billy Anaglate, the station received a distress call informing it of the accident near the junction to the Accra Abattoir.He said personnel from the service promptly responded to the call but after fighting the fire they could not trace the bodies.Mr Anaglate said it was detected during the exercise that there had been two people in the car when the accident occurred, noting that while the driver was trapped in the car, the passenger felt off and got trapped under the car.He said the fire personnel removed the doors of the car to enable them to remove the driver, after which the passenger was found under the car.He said it took the firemen 30 minutes to hammer out the doors to remove the victims, adding that the charred bodies were put into sacks and handed over to the police, who deposited them at the 37 Military Hospital in Accra.Police from Ashaiman were the first to get to the scene to control traffic and ensure safety on the road.Source: Daily Graphic
