Two locomotives belonging to the ArcelorMittal Liberia collided head-on along the rail, leaving 14 persons, including women and children wounded. Fortunately, there was no casualty.
According to information reaching the Daily Observer, the trains were coming from opposite directions when they collided around the CNC old camp on the Ganta – Saclepea highway, about 188 and 189 kilometers.
The train from Yekepa was carrying over 80 wagons, loaded with ore and an unspecified number of passengers, besides the operators and helpers. That train’s operator, Marcus Tulbron sustained serious injury; breaking one of his legs and arms, while those riding along also sustained injuries, but not as severe as the operator.
