The Ghana Fire Service National Headquarters was called to the scene, but delays in their response allowed the car to catch fire completely. Although the firefighters eventually managed to put out the flames, the vehicle was left in ruins by the time the fire was extinguished.
The accident and resulting fire were attributed to the driver’s lapse in attention.
