The Swedish Transport Administration: "We are investigating if the visibility is good enough"

At eleven o'clock on Sunday morning, a SJ train collided with a passenger car on the unguarded railway crossing and two people died,

Voices are now being raised regarding measures by the Swedish Transport Administration, but it is a multi-million deal to set up barriers at the railway crossing as they are to be connected to the signal system and to the electricity supply.

According to the Swedish Transport Administration's press officer Bengt Olsson, the total cost of setting up barriers at the railway crossing is between SEK 5 and 100 million.

- We have highlighted that it is a dangerous place with a stop sign and a cross sign and right now we are looking over the accident site and then above all how the sights are in both directions.

- Those who use the railway crossing should be able to see the trains coming and it may become relevant to procure land so that we can clear more sly and improve visibility even more, says Bengt Olsson.

The Swedish Transport Administration cannot say today what caused the collision between the train and the car at the railway crossing on Sunday morning.

- It's too early for that. We have started to investigate what may have caused the accident, but it also means a lot of interviews with people who have been involved so it will take a few months. We have not yet talked to the driver because it was such a traumatic event, but we will.

The Swedish Transport Administration's press officer says the authority is suffering with the families of the affected ..

- We think it's tragic. In addition, this also affects our traffic clothing and the railway companies' locomotives. The staff is not feeling well when this happens. There are people who have quit because of it. You take it pretty badly, says Bengt Olsson.
