Taiwan: Super Fast train 'crashes into truck' more than 50 dead
 
[At least 50 people have died and
more than 100 others have been injured
after a train derailed in eastern Taiwan, officials have said.
The train, carrying around 490 people,
is believed to have come off the
rails in a tunnel just north of Hualien causing
some carriages to hit the wall of the tunnel.
It is believed to have hit a truck that
was "not parked properly" and is suspected
to have slid onto the train tracks in the
mountainous area, the official Central News Agency said.]


It was a Truck which slid onto the track,
Tragic.

A Correction Update

It slid onto the track
so a Brake, not fully on or something like that.
