A train driver died and eight others were injured after a bullet
train derailed at around 10:30 a.m. on Saturday in Rongjiang
County, southwest China's Guizhou Province, according to China
State Railway Group Co., Ltd, Trend reports citing Xinhua .
Two carriages of the D2809 train from Guiyang to Guangzhou came
off the tracks that were hit by mud and rockslide as the train was
about to arrive at the Rongjiang station, the company said.
The injured people include one train attendant and seven
passengers. They have been receiving treatment at a local hospital.
A total of 136 other passengers have been evacuated, the company
said.
An analysis of data on the train shows that the driver took
emergency braking measures when he detected the abnormality of the
railway line as the train was in a tunnel. The train then slid for
more than 900 meters.
The anti-collision wall and the overall protection of the
railway track structure prevented the overturn and falling of the
train.
