Dar/Upcountry. Within roughly a month, two people have died after being struck by trains in separate incidents, prompting renewed questions over compliance with railway regulations, the adequacy of warning systems at crossings, and discipline among road users.
The most recent incident occurred on Monday, February 23, 2026, in the Tabata Relini area of Dar es Salaam, where Mr Salehe Jinga, aged between 40 and 50 and popularly known as Karosi, died after colliding with a city train travelling from Ubungo to the central station.
