The metro train landed on a work of art: the tail of a whale sticking out of water. There were no passengers in the metro. The driver was not injured and was able to leave the vehicle independently. He has been arrested and is being questioned. “That is standard procedure for these types of serious incidents,” said a spokesperson for the security region. It is being investigated how the metro was able to pass through the buffer.
Specialists from a crane company, the municipality and the RET have drawn up a plan to safely remove the metro train. The municipality is busy removing bushes, grubbing up four trees and temporarily filling in a ditch near the station. There will also be ramps to make room for a crane to remove the metro train.
Driver arrested
The safety region has called on people to give relief workers space and not to come to the place where the metro has shot through the stop block.
