POLICE ARREST DRIVER OF TRUCK THAT CAUSED GHANA’S NEW TRAIN TO CRASH DURING TEST RUN

“Police preliminary investigation has established that the suspect driver left the said vehicle unattended on the railway line, leading to a collision with the train,” a police statement issued in the evening of Thursday said.

The police have reaffirmed their resolve to look into the matter further, even if they haven’t yet revealed who the culprit is.

The Ministry of Railways Development confirmed that the crash happened at approximately 12:10 p.m. The train hit the unguarded truck that was stopped in its path on a bend before failing to stop, even though the emergency braking system was engaged.

The accident did not result in any fatalities. However, according to the ministry’s statement, the accident destroyed the truck and damaged the driver’s cabin of the train.
