Explosion
“As we speak, six people dead due to this fire,” he said, adding that about 35 others sustained various degrees of injury.
It is unclear whether all the six died from burns, following reports that a vehicle knocked two students down as people run for their lives.
There are also reports that one of the deceased died out of panic by falling off an overpass around the area.
The explosion resulted from a gas filling station at Atomic Junction in Accra which somehow exploded on Saturday.
