Two young women lost their lives in a devastating car crash in East Legon, Accra, on Saturday afternoon.
The fatal accident occurred when their Acura vehicle collided head-on with a Jaguar, triggering a catastrophic fire. The impact of the collision caused one of the vehicles to crash into a wooden electric pole, bringing down power cables that ignited the blaze.
Assistant Division Officer Alex King Nartey of the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) confirmed the incident in an interview with Adom FM, citing over-speeding as a major factor in the crash. Firefighters at the scene have retrieved the body of one of the victims, while efforts are underway to extricate the second victim, who remains trapped in the wreckage.
Three other individuals, including the drivers of both vehicles, sustained severe injuries and are currently receiving medical treatment as they fight for their lives.
Authorities are continuing their investigation into the cause of the crash.
