(CNA photo) TAIPEI (Taiwan News) A Vietnamese migrant worker who had been missing for five years was arrested Wednesday (April 7) after surveillance camera footage revealed he was sitting in the crane truck that caused the deadly Hualien train derailment last week. A crane truck driven by contractor Lee Yi-hsiang (李義祥) was identified as the obstacle that Taroko Express No. 408 train collided with before derailing as it entered into a tunnel, killing 50 and injuring 211 on April 2. According to a preliminary investigation, Lee s truck became snagged in bushes that morning as it was going down an incline. Its engine then stalled, and the vehicle slid down until it came to a stop on the tracks 20 meters below, a little over a minute before the train arrived.
