Amewu's dashcam video of train accident 'challenged' over time code skipping

Social media users are demanding answers as to why a dashcam video of the moments leading to the crashing of a newly imported train into a stationary Hyundai truck happened.

The incident which occurred on April 18 attracted public scrutiny after Railways Development Minister, John-Peter Amewu admitted that a viral photo of the wrongly parked truck was photoshopped.

The train, a Diesel Multiple Unit (DMU), was involved in a crash with a parked Hyundai truck, on Thursday, April 18, 2024.

The minister, in an interview with Citi FM, said that eyewitnesses have stated that the driver of the truck parked it on the Tema-Mpakadan railway line along the Asuogyaman District and “vanished.”.

At around 12:10 pm after the train had made a curve, it was met by the Hyundai truck sitting across the railway line.

Unfortunately, the train could not stop quickly to prevent smashing into the abandoned truck

The train smashed into the Hyundai truck at around 12:11 pm, dragging the truck along the railway line for a few seconds before it finally stopped
