A Mercedes Benz A140 was completely destroyed by fire on Friday morning at the Ahodwo Roundabout in Kumasi. The incident, which occurred during the morning rush hour, caused significant disruption at the busy intersection.
The vehicle owner and driver, Attobra Kyeremateng, recounted that the fire started just 30 minutes after he had left home. He initially noticed smoke but continued his journey after it appeared to have stopped. However, upon seeing the smoke again, he pulled over and attempted to extinguish the fire, but the flames quickly spread from the engine.
Fire officers arrived at the scene but were unable to salvage the car, which was third-party insured. Fortunately, Mr. Kyeremateng was unharmed and expressed gratitude for his safety, saying, “In everything, we should give thanks to God.”
