Dark day for V/Line.
More transport woes.
A V/Line train today collided with a semi-trailer near Swan Hill, the photographs from the scene are… horrid – it borders on looking almost apocolyptic. Authorities are promising a full investigation into the cause of the crash.
Meanwhile, the local hospital at the Kerang District as well as hospitals in the Melbourne region are facing stress to care and treat the injured – that is, every passenger on the train, and the driver of the trailer. The death count is still increasing.
Not a very good day.
