The Swedish Transport Authority: "What we do know is that the facility has worked"

The car was stuck in good condition and after the accident, the emergency services worked hard to get the car off the ground. The locomotive never followed, but the freight train had to be redirected and replacement buses replaced the passenger trains that were going on the stretch.

The Swedish Transport Agency has launched an investigation to find out what happened.

"It's still a very thorough investigation that can take up to three months." Joanna Ljunggren, press officer at Trafikverket, explains Joanna Ljunggren, press officer, among other questions: interview the driver and his witnesses, technical investigation, train company interview and many other efforts.

No technical problems

A tractor ransacked the car at 10:45 pm Wednesday and there is no visible trace of the accident on the spot. The police currently do not suspect any crime in relation to the accident and it remains to continue the investigation.

– We do not know exactly what happened if the driver suddenly became ill or he became ill. This gives an answer to the hope survey. What we do know is that the installation has worked. Bars and signals and also signals to the driver. That's not where the problem lies, says Joanna Ljunggren.

Second serious accident at the same location this year

In February 2018, there was one Another very serious accident in the same crossover plane even with a freight train involved.

Is this a dangerous transition, are you going to look at it now?

"There is something that makes it even more important for this survey to take time, and to what extent these two people have a connection, it is difficult to react in this situation," said Joanna Ljunggren, press relations officer at Swedish Administration of Transport.
