Birthday Bash, Salifu Amoako’s Wife’s Jaguar: More details of the East Legon crash that burnt at least 2 people to death

According to reports, one of the vehicles involved in the accident, a white Jaguar, belongs to the wife of Salifu Amoako, a popular pastor in Ghana.

Reports, which GhanaWeb cannot confirm at this point, indicate that one of Salifu Amoako’s sons, believed to be between 21 – 22 years old, took his mother’s Jaguar to run an errand during the birthday bash of his junior brother on Saturday.

Both Salifu Amoako’s son and his friend who was in the Jaguar survived the crash.

Conflicting reports gathered by GhanaWeb also indicated that the birthday celebration was for the pastor’s eldest son, who is around 25 years old.

The reports indicated that the birthday celebrant’s junior brother, who is believed to be between the ages of 16 and 17 years old, was the one driving his mum’s white Jaguar.

CCTV footage and eyewitness account:

CCTV footage of the incident showed the white Jaguar moving at a very high speed.

Failing to slow down, the Jaguar crashed into at least one vehicle. Minutes after the crash, smoke could be seen rising at the scene of the incident.

Some of the onlookers could be seen rushing to the scene of the accident to help.

An eyewitness, a motor rider who rescued a girl in the second car, indicated that it was the Jaguar that started burning.

He indicated that he attempted to rescue the woman who was driving the second car but could not. He, however, managed to rescue the girl before the second vehicle also caught fire.

According to reports, one of the vehicles struck a wooden electric pole, leading to the pole’s electrical cables falling and sparking the fire that engulfed the vehicles, burning them completely.
