Two persons die on Accra-Tema Motorway

Tema, May 24, GNA - Two persons were burnt beyond recognition when the vehicle in which they were travelling caught fire in an accident on the Accra-Tema Motorway last Friday night.

Their charred remains have been collected and deposited at the Police Hospital mortuary.

Mr Prince Anaglate, Public Relations Officer of Tema National Fire Service told newsmen that his outfit received the news about the accident around 8 p.m and they rushed to the scene near the abattoir area.

He said they saw an Audi saloon car with registration number GT 9276 Z in a gutter with the driver and another occupant burnt beyond recognition at the front seat.

Mr Anaglate said they realised that the vehicle veered off its lane, landed into the gutter and busted into flames. The firemen together with police from Ashiaman had to cut the two front doors of the car into pieces before they could collect the remains of their bodies.

Mr. Anaglate said they could not even identify the sex of the two bodies. 24 May 09
