   A devastating explosion in Ghana left a 66ft crater in the road,   
   killing 13 victims and injuring a further 180 people, of whom   
   four are in critical condition.   
      
   Footage shows horror-struck residents looking into the crater,   
   left by a blast triggered when a motorbike crashed into a truck   
   full of explosives heading towards a gold mine on Thursday   
   (January 20).   
      
   Burning wood and ripped sheet metal marks where 500 houses used   
   to stand in Apiate, a rural town about 200 km (130 miles) west   
   of the capital Accra.   
      
   Doors and roofs were blown off other buildings from the force of   
   the blast and rescue workers were left combing the site while   
   excavators dug through the larger piles of dirt and debris.   
      
   "We've seen damage to lives and property here that is just   
   indescribable," said Daniel Adu-Gyamfi, a student who came to   
   volunteer with the response team.   
      
   "Yesterday... you could see human remains all over the place."   
      
   Police said the explosion happened after the motorcycle crashed   
   into the truck, then caught fire, and a government statement   
   suggested a roadside power transformer could have played a role.   
      
   The truck was owned by a company called Maxam that was   
   transporting explosives to the Chirano gold mine, run by Toronto-   
   based Kinross Gold Corporation, police said.   
      
   Kinross said it planned to provide support to the response   
   efforts and relief items to those affected. Maxam could not be   
   reached for comment.   
      
   If not for the actions of the truck driver, the death toll could   
   have been much worse.   
      
   There was a pause between the collision and the explosion, and   
   the driver used the precious time to tell the community they   
   were in danger, said police spokesperson Kwesi Ofori.   
      
   A nearby school was successfully evacuated after teachers were   
   among the first to be informed of the impending disaster.
