MANILA, Philippines – A “dead” train of the Light Rail Transit 2 (LRT-2) suddenly came to life Saturday night and collided with an active coach injuring 31 people, authorities said. Subsequently, LRT authorities suspended train operations between Santolan and Recto on Sunday morning as the wreckage of the two trains were removed. The train had reportedly malfunctioned and was parked at the middle track waiting to be towed back to the LRT-2 depot in Santolan, Pasig City. According to Cabrera, the runaway train rolled onto the eastbound tracks and started moving towards Cubao, into the path of Train No. Despite the warning, 31 passengers were hurt when the runaway train slammed head-on into Train No.
