I was near the AU Liberation circle area in Accra this morning to run a quick errand, when I caught sight of this burning car.
It was only turning back to peer at the strange image that I noticed it was one of those ubiquitous double-coloured cars Ghanaians recognise immediately as taxis.
Thankfully, my trusted cameraphone was nearby, resulting in this shot.
It remains unclear what could have triggered it, but there was thankfully no indication of casualties--just tremendous heat emanating even from the distance from where I took the picture!
Hot tip!

Wow, nicely captured.
Oh no a taxi, I am a taxi driver, I can only think of the poor driver, is he safe, his livelihood is now destroyed, his family may starve.
You did get a great photo, but I hope you assisted the driver.
Hope he is not injured!
