A fuel tanker exploded and burnt almost half of a village as it skidded off the road in an accident on its journey from Kumasi towards Tepa in the Ashanti Region Monday afternoon.
The driver of the tanker, his mate and one toddler, Kofi Owusu, two years old, perished in the inferno, which lasted many hours at Onyinanufu, the village along the road.
According to an eyewitness, the toddler was sleeping in the room with the father, a stroke patient, who was carried to safety by someone.
The bodies, which were burnt beyond recognition, have been deposited at the mortuary of the Tepa Government Hospital.
