Newly Imported Train From Poland Intended For Operation On The Tema-Mpakadan Railway Line Involved In An Accident
At approximately 12:10 pm on Thursday, 18th April 2024, while conducting the test, an incident took place around Km 76+100. The DMU, upon approaching the curve at Km76+100, encountered a stationary vehicle stationed right across the rail track.
Despite the immediate application of the emergency braking system, the train was unable to come to a complete stop before colliding with the vehicle. It is important to note that the vehicle was unmanned, and the location where it was found is not designated as an authorized level crossing.
Thankfully, there were no injuries sustained by passengers on the train or bystanders. However, there was minor damage to the driver’s cab section of the train. (Graphic Online)
