More details are emerging on the road crash at East Legon, a suburb of the nation’s capital, Accra, which led to at least two people being burnt to death on Saturday, October 12, 2024.
According to reports, one of the vehicles involved in the accident, a white Jaguar, belongs to the wife of Salifu Amoako, a popular pastor in Ghana.
Reports, which GhanaWeb cannot confirm at this point, indicate that one of Salifu Amoako’s sons, believed to be between 21 – 22 years old, took his mother’s Jaguar to run an errand during the birthday bash of his junior brother on Saturday.
Both Salifu Amoako’s son and his friend who was in the Jaguar survived the crash.
CCTV footage and eyewitness account:
CCTV footage of the incident showed the white Jaguar moving at a very high speed.
Failing to slow down, the Jaguar crashed into at least one vehicle. Minutes after the crash, smoke could be seen rising at the scene of the incident.
Some of the onlookers could be seen rushing to the scene of the accident to help.
An eyewitness, a motor rider who rescued a girl in the second car, indicated that it was the Jaguar that started burning.
He indicated that he attempted to rescue the woman who was driving the second car but could not. He, however, managed to rescue the girl before the second vehicle also caught fire.
According to reports, one of the vehicles struck a wooden electric pole, leading to the pole’s electrical cables falling and sparking the fire that engulfed the vehicles, burning them completely.
