Appiatse Explosion: A whole community wiped out with scores feared dead [Photos]

Scores of people are feared dead with many others sustaining various degrees of injuries following an explosion by a truck transporting mining explosives at Appiatse in the Western Region.

A police brief said preliminary investigations has established that a mining explosive vehicle moving from Tarkwa to Chirano mines collided with a motorcycle resulting in the explosion.

The brief said most of the victims had been rescued and were on admission at various health facilities at Bogoso, Prestea, Tarkwa and Wassa Akropong within the Bogoso Municipality in the Western Region.

The incident happened yesterday at Appiatse in the Prestea Huni-Valley Municipality of the Western Region.

The Police have activated an emergency recovery plan to salvage the damage caused by a gas explosion that occurred at Apiate between Bogoso and Bawdie.

They have provided security to enable emergency workers, including the Ghana National Fire Service, The National Disaster Management Organization (NADMO) and the Ambulance Service to manage the situation.
