The Police say they have arrested a truck driver whose vehicle allegedly caused a collision with the new Diesel Multiple Unit (DMU) modern trains undergoing a test drive on the Tema-Mpakadan railway line on Thursday.
“Police preliminary investigation has established that the suspect driver left the vehicle unattended on the railway line, leading to a collision with the train. Police investigation into the incident continues,” a police statement said without identifying the suspect.
The accident happened on Thursday afternoon, the Ministry of Railway Development confirmed in a statement. According to that statement, the truck was parked in the middle of the rail track, making it almost unavoidable to stop when the train approached a curve.
