The latest news is that the tractor somehow was too close to the not closed track. For some reason it couldn't move from the spot and then the train came.
There is a temporary speed limit of 70km/h on the line where the maintnance work is carried out, however, where the train hit the tractor the speed limit is higher, but the train probably didn't have higher speed than 100-115km/h as the X2:s have quite slow acceleration.
A woman is still at hospital with serious injuries. The tractor driver is also still at hospital. He was found outside the tractor.
