An unlicensed driver, who is a 16-year-old son of Bishop Salifu Amoako of Alive Chapel International, crashed a white Jaguar vehicle into a Honda Acura vehicle the 12-year-old girls were travelling with.
The two girls died on the spot, after the vehicle caught fire. They were burnt beyond recognition.
