Many people are feared dead following an explosion in Bogoso, a town in western Ghana.
The Ghana police said a vehicle carrying mining explosives collided with a motorcycle in the town on Thursday.
The police asked nearby towns to “open up their classrooms, churches to accommodate surviving victims”.
“Preliminary investigation has established that a mining explosive vehicle moving from Tarkwa to Chirano mines collided with a motorcycle resulting in the explosion,” they said.
“Most of the victims have been rescued and are on admission at various hospitals and clinics within the Bogoso Municipality.

In a statement on Thursday, President Nana Akufo-Addo of Ghana described the development as a “truly sad, unfortunate and tragic incident”.
