Train collision between Molkom and Deje in Värmland

A multiple unit of two locomotives which was sent out to assist a freight train that had come to a standstill between Kil and Molkom, collided with the train. One of the drivers was injured. The rolling stock sustained severe damage. A few facts have been established:

1. The registration unit in the locomotive ATC system indicates that the multiple unit was travelling at 59 km/h at the time of impact.

2. The track section was given over to the movement of the assisting vehicles.

The fact-finding activities are not yet concluded. Interpretation and analysis of facts will take place at a later stage of the investigation.
