According to reports on Onua FM this afternoon by a journalist, the accident was caused by a Fuel Tanker Truck overtaking on the road. The overtaking is said to have caused the fuel tanker truck to capsize, resulting in a tremendous explosion.
Well, a mother by the name of Ama Adomaa has revealed that she lost one of her six children in the explosion. According to Adomaa, her 21-year-old son, Justice, upon hearing the blast went to the scene and returned to warn her.
Justice, however, after escaping to a nearby bush with his mother intended to film the whole incident, hence going back to the scene but unfortunately, Justice could not make it back as he was killed when the explosives in the truck detonated.
Speaking with JoyNews’ correspondent, Ina Thalia Quansah, Ama Adomaa said; “As at 11 a.m., I was asleep when my son, Justice, rushed in saying ‘Mum, wake up, something serious has happened. I got up immediately. I saw smoke and thought our house would be destroyed by the fire. I took my mother and left for the bush. Not knowing my son had returned to the scene to film the explosion. My 21-year-old son is dead.”
