Fallen construction vehicle blamed for fatal Taiwan train crash
Investigations are underway following the fatal derailment of a high speed train near Hualien in Taiwan on Friday after it hit a lorry linked to slope stabilisation work on Friday.
At least 50 people were killed and more than 200 injured in the crash, which occurred as the eight carriage Taroko Express train travelling from Taipei to Taitung entered the Qingshui Tunnel to the north of Hualien.
The Taiwan Transportation Safety Board has started to analyse CCTV of the incident and has already suggested that the train driver – who was killed in the crash – only had 10 seconds view of the obstruction that had slid down a 20m slope near the tunnel portal before the collision. The train was reported to be travelling at 100km/h at the time of the incident.
