"Injuries included significant head trauma, broken limbs, and back and neck injuries..."Those are not trivial injuries. If you're over 35 you won't just bounce back, and if you're under that age those may come back in your 50s. While there's nothing we can do about it, this does point out have pathetically narrow the track gauge is. Even though the train outweighs the truck by ten to one and hit the truck straight on, it still wound up on its side, which is what caused the injuries. Had the cars stayed upright there would probably be no injuries of any consequence on board. |
