Mrs Tenge said the suspect truck driver lost control of the rig, which landed in the middle of the road with the shipping container it was carrying.
She went on to say that as the police were controlling traffic and making room for the National Road Safety Authority workers to move the container out of the way, the Mercedes driver missed all the warning signals and crashed into it (the container).
The Mercedes Benz saloon sedan, which had five passengers and no identification number, caught fire, and the driver and one passenger were saved with the help of the Ghana National Fire Service and the police.
The three others, she said, were absolutely burned.
She claimed that the two cars had been impounded pending further inquiry.
