A train has derailed in Ghana’s capital, Accra. A number of injuries have been reported from the accident which occured early Monday morning.

The train, run by the national railway company, was headed for the central business district with people and goods from the town of Nsawam, a town located in the eastern region.

Photos shared on Twitter showed a coach painted in the national colours hanging on the side of the tracks. Even though illegal, there are a number of squatters living close to most rail tracks, a situation that has raised safety concerns over the years.
