There is fire and fury at the mining town of Nsuta in the Western region after a company truck killed a teenager Thursday.
Angry residents have set used tires ablaze as the death has become a rallying flag to demonstrate over poor roads in the mineral-rich town south of the region.
The teen was killed after a manganese-carrying truck from Ghana Manganese Company ran him over.
