Truck owner shares insights into train collision incident

The owner, who was present at his block factory during the incident, clarified that his driver had initially passed under a railway bridge to deliver the blocks.

However, upon the return journey, the truck, now lighter and consequently higher off the ground, encountered difficulty passing under the bridge again.

“I was at the block factory when my driver came to me that he was finding it difficult to pass through under the bridge

Because he had offloaded the truck, it gained some height so he was not able to use the under bridge this time,” the owner explained in a video shared by Ghone TV.

Opting for an alternative route, the driver attempted to traverse the railway tracks, resulting in the truck getting stuck

Following the accident, both the owner and the driver reported to the police station, where the driver was taken into custody.

Meanwhile, the Circuit Court in Juapong sentenced the truck driver, Abel Dzidotor, to six months imprisonment with hard labour for causing unlawful damage to public property, among two other charges.
