At least 51 people were killed in Taiwan on Friday when a packed train collided with a vehicle on the tracks and then derailed inside a tunnel, in the island\u2019s worst railway accident in decades.<\/p>\n

Officials said the devastating collision was caused by a railway maintenance vehicle which slipped down an embankment above the tracks near the eastern coastal city of Hualien.<\/p>\n

\u201c(The driver) was suspected of not pulling the parking brake tight enough so the vehicle slid 20 meters\u2026 onto the train line,\u201d Feng Hui-sheng, deputy director of Taiwan Railways Authority, told reporters.<\/p>\n

Local media images from the scene showed the back of a yellow flatbed truck on its side next to the train just a few metres from the tunnel entrance.<\/p>\n

The eight-carriage train was packed with some 480 people heading down the east coast for the annual Tomb Sweeping Festival, a four-day public holiday.<\/p>\n

The Taiwan Railways Agency said 146 passengers were sent to hospital in addition to the 51 confirmed dead.<\/p>\n

A French national was among those killed while two Japanese and one Macau resident were injured.<\/p>\n

One unnamed female survivor told TVBS news channel of trapped passengers \u2014 some crying out for help, others unconscious.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere were many people pressed under the seats and others on top of those seats too,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

President Tsai Ing-wen visited an emergency response centre in the capital Taipei, and said investigators would get to the bottom of how such a deadly crash could have occurred.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will definitely clarify the cause of the incident that has caused major casualties,\u201d she told reporters.<\/p>\n

\u201cI hope the deceased can rest in peace and the wounded can recover soon.\u201d<\/p>\n

Narrow tunnel<\/h2>\n

The accident occurred on Taiwan\u2019s eastern railway line around 9:30 am (0130 GMT).<\/p>\n

Pictures published by local newspaper UDN showed the front of the train inside the tunnel had been pulverised into a twisted mesh of metal.<\/p>\n

Rescuers worked for hours to reach those trapped inside the tunnel and haul them out, using buzzsaws to slice through warped sheets of metal.<\/p>\n

Footage released by the Taiwan Red Cross showed specialists with helmets and headlights had to use the roof of the stricken train to reach people inside the narrow single-track tunnel.<\/p>\n

By mid-afternoon, officials said there were no people left inside the carriages but dozens of rescuers remained on site as evening set in, according to AFP reporters at the crash scene.<\/p>\n

Due to a long history of deadly earthquakes, Taiwan has experienced rescue teams on permanent standby to deal with disasters and retrieve trapped people.<\/p>\n

\u2018Violent jolt\u2019<\/h2>\n

People further back in the train were able to walk away from the crash comparatively unscathed.<\/p>\n

A live Facebook broadcast by UDN outside the tunnel showed a row of undamaged train carriages with rescuers helping passengers escape.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt felt like there was a sudden violent jolt and I found myself falling to the floor,\u201d an unidentified female survivor told the network, saying she suffered a cut to her head.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe broke the window to climb to the roof of the train to get out.\u201d<\/p>\n

The annual Tomb Sweeping Festival is an especially busy time of the year for Taiwan\u2019s roads and railways.<\/p>\n

During the festival, people return to ancestral villages to tidy up the graves of their relatives and make offerings.<\/p>\n

Taiwan\u2019s eastern railway line is usually a popular tourist draw down its dramatic and less populated eastern coastline.<\/p>\n

With the help of multiple tunnels and bridges, it winds its way through towering mountains and dramatic gorges before entering the picturesque Huadong Valley.<\/p>\n

Friday\u2019s crash looks set to be one of Taiwan\u2019s worst railway accidents on record.<\/p>\n

The last major train derailment in Taiwan was in 2018 and left 18 people dead at the southern end of the same line.<\/p>\n

That crash was the island\u2019s worst since 1991, when 30 passengers were killed and 112 injured after two trains collided in Miaoli.<\/p>\n

Thirty were also killed in 1981 after a truck collided with a passenger train at a level crossing and sent coaches over a bridge in Hsinchu.<\/p>\n

The Apple Daily newspaper said the island\u2019s worst crash was in 1948 when 64 died.<\/p>\n

Another crash in 1961 killed 48, while a 1978 crash left 41 dead.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
