Three dead in Scotland train derailment, investigation begins
UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson said on Wednesday that police must find the cause of the train derailment which killed three in Scotland, in order to prevent an accident of its kind ever happening again.
British Transport Police spokesman Brian McAleese said on Wednesday that police received reports of a train derailing near Stonehaven, 15 km (9 miles) south of Aberdeen, at 09:43 a.m, and confirmed that three people had been pronounced dead at the scene.
The BBC reported that the train was made up of two locomotives, one at the front and one at the back, and four passenger carriages. It said the front locomotive and three of the carriages had left the track and were sitting on a river embankment.
Stonehaven and the surrounding area had been hit by floods in recent days and some reports suggested a landslide may have played a part in the derailment, although that was not confirmed by the authorities.
