A young man sustained severe injuries after being hit by the 001 train on the Tema–Mpakadan railway line. Reports suggest that he failed to move away from the track despite the train’s approach.
According to Accra-based Citi News, the train’s horn was sounded multiple times, but the man did not react. Witnesses at the scene stated that he appeared mentally sound at the time of the incident.
The Ghana Railway Development Authority (GRDA) has reiterated the importance of exercising caution near railway lines, advising pedestrians to remain vigilant and avoid walking on or close to the tracks.
Authorities confirmed that emergency responders arrived swiftly to provide medical assistance to the injured man.
In a related statement, the GRDA hinted that recent attacks on the train service could be connected to ongoing efforts to remove encroachers from railway property, suggesting the possibility of retaliatory motives.
