Britain suffered its worst train crash in more than 15 years after a derailment in Scotland killed three people, including the driver, and left another six injured. • The Scotrail service was traveling from Aberdeen to Glasgow when it left the tracks at 9:43 a.m. on Wednesday near Stonehaven on the North Sea coast. While the cause is still to be determined, the train may have hit a landslide after Scotland experienced heavy rain and widespread flooding. • The six people who were injured were taken to the hospital for treatment, British Transport Police Chief Superintendent Eddie Wylie said in a statement, adding that their condition is “not believed to be serious.” • The force will work with Britain’s Rail Accident Investigation Branch and the Office of Rail and Road to establish how the Inter City 125 HST came to derail. • A major incident was declared and about 30 emergency service vehicles attended the scene, with aerial TV footage showing that two carriages had overturned, with another rolling down an embankment. • The crash marks the first fatal accident in the U.K. involving people on a train since 2007, when a Virgin West Coast Pendolino derailed at a faulty set of points in northern England, killing one woman on board. • The death toll is the highest since 2004, when a train driver, five passengers and a motorist died after an HST hit a car parked on a level crossing near Reading, west of London. • • Subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://bit.ly/2TwO8Gm • QUICKTAKE ON SOCIAL: • Follow QuickTake on Twitter: twitter.com/quicktake • Like QuickTake on Facebook: facebook.com/quicktake • Follow QuickTake on Instagram: instagram.com/quicktake • Subscribe to our newsletter: https://bit.ly/2FJ0oQZ • Email us at [email protected] • QuickTake by Bloomberg is a global news network delivering up-to-the-minute analysis on the biggest news, trends and ideas for a new generation of leaders.
