Train Crash In Taiwan Leaves At Least 50 Dead
A freak train accident has resulted in one of the worst rail disasters in Taiwan's history.
Almost 500 passengers were on board when it derailed in a tunnel.
The train reportedly hit a construction vehicle that had slid off an embankment onto the tracks.
Sky's Tom Cheshire says that Taiwan has experienced train crashes before:
"This is now the worst train crash in decades for Taiwan. In 2018, they had a crash where 18 people died. In 1991, 13 people died. So this is already a bigger death toll than all of that."
