Three people, including a popular bakery owner, Dadzie of Dadzie Bakery, got burnt when a saloon car on which they were travelling from Takoradi to Cape Coast caught fire in an accident.

The fire, according to eyewitnesses, was triggered by a leakage in the fuel tank of the vehicle.

Dadzie’s son had returned from London a few weeks ago, and was honouring an invitation to a wedding in Cape Coast with two friends when the incident occurred.

Eyewitnesses said the vehicle capsized when it tried to overtake in a sharp curve and caught fire in the process.

The bodies have been deposited at the Effia- Nkwanta Hospital Morgue in Takoradi.
