KUALA LUMPUR: Two passengers who were injured in the collision between two LRT trains on Monday (May 24) evening have undergone brain surgery, with a third needing cerebral resuscitation treatment, said Hospital Kuala Lumpur (HKL) director Heric Corray.
There were no passengers on the train that had been heading in the wrong direction, he added.
Train driver failed to follow correct orientation
In elaborating on the investigations carried by Malaysia s Land Public Transport Agency, Wee said that the driver of the empty train, also known as train 40, had failed to follow the correct orientation.
The train was initially being driven automatically in a southbound direction, from Kampung Baru station towards Dang Wangi station, during a test.
However, a technical issue meant that the train had to be driven manually, with the driver subsequently taking the train in a northbound direction.
