TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — Four days after the deadly Hualien train derailment, a video was released showing that the locomotive's driver had a mere seven seconds to try to halt the train after a crane truck had rolled onto the tracks.
On Tuesday (April 6), the Taiwan Transportation Safety Board (TTSB) provided the findings of the preliminary investigation into the accident based on data obtained from the train's event recorder and dashcam video footage. The presentation included video footage showing the final 10 seconds before the train's engine slammed into the truck.
