A video capturing the moment a Diesel Multiple Unit (DMU) train collided with a parked Hyundai truck on the Tema-Mpakadan railway line has surfaced.
The incident, which occurred on Thursday, April 18, shows the train cruising along the railway line around 12:09 pm.
As the train rounded a curve at around 12:10 pm, it encountered the Hyundai truck blocking the track.
Despite attempts to stop, the train crashed into the abandoned truck at around 12:11 pm, dragging it along the railway line before coming to a halt.
The driver of the vehicle, Abel Dzidotor, 41, was arrested and has been sentenced to six months in prison for his role in the accident.
Abel Dzidotor could face further penalties if he fails to produce his driver’s license as ordered by the court.
