A Kia Rhino truck with registration number AC 1059 caught fire earlier today on the Kumasi-Accra road at Kyekyewere in the Ayensuano District of the Eastern Region.

Fire service teams are currently working hard to contain the blaze and prevent it from spreading and causing traffic on the alternative section, Kumasi to Accra.

Eyewitnesses report that the vehicle, which was traveling from Accra towards Kumasi, had been loaded with turpentine and glue before the driver lost control.

Residents quickly rescued the driver and his mate and rushed them to the hospital.
