Another terrible accident. I heard the driver of one died too. How very sad especially on the back of the one in Spain! My heartfelt sympathies to all those who lost loved ones.
Deepest sympathies

Today at 14:00hrs, all across Switzerland, approximately 3000 train drivers sounded their horns/whistles to bid a final farewell to the 24 year old driver who was sadly killed in this accident.

Very sad. Two crashes in almost as many weeks. Heartbreaking.
