1 year since the world known accident in Saltsjöbaden

Today it has gone one year since a train crasched into a house in Saltsjöbaden east of Stockholm.
At first the operator, Arriva, accused a young cleaner, Sara, for stealing the train.
While laying drugged at hospital the police started investigating her, and even searched her home and read her diary for clues. After some days the investigation instead turned towards Arriva, and how the train was parked at the yard, and Sara was no longer a suspect.
So, one year has gone. What I know is that she accidentally, and without knowing it, started the moving of the train, and when she realised that the train had no driver, it was to late to stop it (and as it was dark she could not find the emergency brake) so she took protection and was stuck for two hours with serious injuries.
The investigation by Swedish Accident Investigation Authority is still ongoing but will be public, unlike Arrivas own, as soon as it is finished.
