[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Jung-yoon] An SRT train traveling from Busan Station to Seoul Suseo Station derailed near Daejeon Marshalling Yard Station.


According to SR on the 1st, at around 3:25 PM that day, SRT train car number 338 derailed near Daejeon Marshalling Yard Station. There were about 370 passengers on board at the time, and it was reported that 7 people were injured in the accident.


The accident has caused delays in both the up and down SRT train services. It is also expected to cause delays for KTX trains that share the same tracks. However, since the general train tracks are still operational, SR is guiding trains to take detours.


The fire authorities estimate that the accident occurred when the SRT train made an emergency brake for unknown reasons, causing the wheels of two train cars to come off the tracks.



An SR official said, "It is expected to take considerable time to complete the recovery work," and added, "We are investigating the exact cause of the accident."
