The Management of VIP Jeoun has confirmed that one of its coaches caught fire while waiting to undertake a scheduled trip from Abuakwa in the Atwima Nwabiagya Municipality to Accra.
The incident occurred on Saturday, August 15, with no casualties recorded as the coach was stationary and had no passengers on board.
According to management, the coach, with registration number GT 6770-18, was scheduled to begin loading and boarding passengers at 9:30 p.m.
The conductor, Kwaku Apai, reportedly noticed smoke coming from the coach at about 6:45 p.m. and immediately switched off its power supply.
