A 44-year-old driver of a petrol tanker , Yusif Mumuni, died on the spot when his vehicle burst a front tyre, somersaulted and burst into flames on the outskirts of Nyamoransa in the Central Region on Thursday evening.
The Central Regional Police Public Relations Officer, Inspector Emmanuel Teye Okoso, said the driver was trapped between the head of the vehicle and the tank in his attempt to escape from the fire.
Two others on the vehicle who managed to escape are on admission at the Central Regional Hospital in Cape Coast, while the charred body of the deceased has been deposited at the same hospital’s morgue.
Inspector Okoso said it took the police and Fire Service personnel a hectic time to retrieve the charred body of the driver from the flames.
He said Mumuni, who was employed only three months ago by the Glory Oil Company, was driving the vehicle with registration number GR 6536 K loaded with petrol from Tema to Glory Oil Filling Station near the police barrier at the Moree Junction.
Inspector Okoso said the police were investigating the case.
