A driver and passengers narrowly escaped death after a taxi commuting them caught fire in the middle of the road at Juaboso-Asawinso in the Western North Region.
The taxi with registration number AS 9317-09 has been burnt beyond recognition following the bizzare incident.
The driver only identified as Macho and the four passengers were travelling from Sefwi Proso-Kofikrom in the Juaboso district to Asawinso.
