“A total of 17 people have unfortunately been confirmed dead, and 59 injured people have been rescued,” Information Minister Kojo Oppong Nkrumah said in a statement released overnight.
A truck carrying explosives collided with a motorcycle in western Ghana Thursday, causing an immense explosion and a huge “loss of lives”, the Ghanaian president said. The accident happened around noon in Apiate, near the city of Bogoso some 300 kilometres west of the mineral-rich West African country’s capital Accra.
Saying the blast caused “the loss of lives and the destruction of properties”, Nana Akufo-Addo added in a tweet: “It is a truly sad, unfortunate and tragic incident.” Local police released a statement saying that a “preliminary investigation has established that a mining vehicle carrying explosives… collided with a motorcycle resulting in the explosion”.Dr Joseph Darko, working at Apiate hospital, told AFP that five of the casualties had been taken there, “including a five-year-old child who is in a life-threatening condition”.
