A number of people got injured after a train derailed in Accra, Ghana. The cause of the accident is not yet known, but authorities suspect weak rail tracks.

The railway has become a convenient means of travel for traders who live on the outskirts of Accra, and at least five people are receiving treatment at the hospital.


Despite that some of the rail tracks have not been replaced for many years, the Accra-to-Nsawam route serves thousands of commuters every day.
