Mongbain Town, Nimba County – Two locomotives belonging to ArcelorMittal have collided head-on leading to the injury of 14 persons. The incident occurred at about 11:30pm Friday night when one of the locomotives transporting ore from Yekepa, Nimba County to the Port of Buchanan in Grand Bassa County collided with another locomotive returning from Buchanan. The empty train had three non-employees onboard while the one heading to Bassa with the ore had on board 11 people. The train from Yekepa was transporting 120 buckets of ore for export. Residents of Nimba County have blamed the incident as a result of poor communication from the management of the company.
