A school bus carrying students of Wesley Grammar School caught fire at the Kasoa Tollbooth on Friday, November 28, but all passengers escaped without injury.

The bus was transporting 83 students and five teachers to Ngleshie Amanfro Senior High School for a sporting event when the incident occurred.

Sports Teacher Richard Boafo, who was accompanying the students, told Class News that smoke was detected while the bus was in motion, prompting an immediate evacuation.

“We noticed smoke coming out of the bus, so we asked all the students to move out immediately. Fortunately, all 83 students and five teachers on board escaped safely, but the bus was completely burnt to ashes,” he said.

Although no injuries were recorded, the bus was destroyed in the fire. Authorities are expected to investigate the cause of the incident.
