A heavy tanker has been reportedly involved in a horrible accident a while ago at Gyamfikrom in the Kintampo South District in the Bono East region while transporting fuel to Burkina Faso.
The tanker had fallen on the side of the highway causing the fuel to spill. A security alert was made and the Bono East regional minister, Hon Akwasi Adu Gyan rushed to the scene.
Owing to that, the deputy minister had a series of conversation with Ghana Fire Service and Rescue Service, Ghana Police Service and the Environmental Protection Agency of Ghana who were already present at the scene before his arrival. He advised them to continue adopting comprehensive measures to ensure the safety of life and property.
More importantly the minister at the scene warned the people around the area not to go to the area as they have witnessed in recent times how fire burned people who attempted collecting the fuel spilling.
He asked they rather allow the security services at the scene to help us prevent any disaster that will harm our lives and bring much inconvenience.
He also wish to encourage drivers plying that stretch of road to take extra precautionary steps when reaching the scene.
