A reporter,\u00a0<\/strong>Franklin Badu Jnr, reported from the University of Ghana Hospital that several injured victims are being treated.<\/p>\n

He added that because it is a small hospital, some of the seriously injured victims are being transferred to Korle Bu and the 37 Military hospital.<\/p>\n

A gas station at Atomic Junction in Accra went up in flames on Saturday evening.<\/p>\n

Citi News<\/strong>\u2019 Richard Dela Sky who is at the scene reported that \u201cit is really terrifying.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI can hear piercing sound of gas explosion. I can see a lot of fire tenders here trying to put the fire off. The residual gas in the container is burning. I can still hear sounds of explosion. The whole area has been cordoned off by the police. No vehicle is being allowed to the scene.\u201d<\/p>\n

In June 2015, over a hundred of lives were lost amidst fire and rain at the GOIL filling station in Accra popularly referred to as the June 3 disaster.<\/p>\n
