The Swedish Transport Administration's press manager Bengt Olsson reacts strongly when he sees the film.
- It is a nightmare situation for train drivers.
It is known that you drive a number of hundred tonnes that come at a fairly high speed, and it takes somewhere between 600 and 1,000 meters to stop a train.
He says that the instinct for a train driver in situations like this is to throw himself on the brake, even though it is often unprofitable.
So also at Hisingen.
The train collided with the bus at such a speed that the locomotive took off from the track, which resulted in a derailment.
There is no information that any person was seriously injured in connection with the accident. According to information from the police, three people themselves have visited the health center with minor injuries. The person who drove the otherwise empty bus had got off before the train arrived.
