Fatal crash train was travelling over twice permitted speed

Investigators say a train that crashed in Ústí nad Labem on Monday killing its driver was travelling at 108 kilometres per hour, over twice the permitted speed of 50 kilometres per hour. However, a spokesperson for Czech Railways said it was not possible to rule out a technical fault. Eleven people were injured when the inter city train was derailed and crashed into a wall in the north Bohemian town.
