The incident occurred while the driver and two other occupants were sleeping, prompting them to escape through the truck's windscreen after hearing alerts from passers-by. The trio had halted their journey from Tema to Kumasi to take a rest when the fire ignited. By the time firefighters from the Kibi Fire Station arrived at 3:14 a.m., the truck, bearing the registration number GE 4273-26, was completely engulfed in flames.

The origin of the fire is currently under investigation.",
