The occurrence, which happened on April 18, 2024, has led Mahama to question the effectiveness of pre-operational inspections.
On social media platform X (formerly Twitter), Mahama raised significant questions about the procedures conducted prior to the test ride.

“How can you conduct a test run on a new railway line without a track inspection? How long had the vehicle been on the track before the test run? If I were President, I’ll be asking some serious questions,” John Mahama’s post stated.
Following the accident, Abel Dzidotor, the truck driver, has been sentenced to a six-month jail term after admitting guilt to three of the four charges against him, which include inconsiderate driving and causing unlawful damage.
