A 35-year-old motor rider met his untimely death on Tuesday morning when a Tema-Accra bound train crushed and killed him instantly at the Sakumono railway crossing.
The deceased�s mutilated body was dragged on the rail line, about 50 meters from the spot he was hit, leading to the scattering of his mortal remains on the rails.
Eye witnesses told the media at the scene that at about 0630 hours, the train approached the Sakumono level crossing from Tema heading towards Accra.
According to the eyewitnesses, as was the practice, the traffic warden at the level crossing raised his red flag to alert and stop vehicles, for the train to pass.
However, the deceased who has been identified as Yusif Ibrahim, ignored the signal and rode onto the rail line, while all other vehicles stopped for the train to pass. The train instantly crushed and killed him.
