The investigation found that the Turna Nishita’s driver ‘ignored’ the signal, causing the fatal accident, said Mia Jahan, additional director general of Railways. "We believe that the accident occurred due to the negligence of Turna Nishita’s driver.”The two trains were crossing in Mondobagh, said Mia Jahan. "After nine bogeys of the train crossed over into the loop line, Turna Nishita hit the 10th bogey. After the collision, several bogeys of Turna crashed over the top of Udayan on impact.
