Investigations continue into Cleveland train crash

cleveland train

Investigations are continuing after a passenger train ran off the tracks and smashed into a station toilet block in the Brisbane suburb of Cleveland, leaving passengers with minor injuries and toilet users lucky to escape with their lives.

Thirteen passengers, a driver and a guard were on board when the train's front carriage crashed onto the platform and into the toilets.

Live powerlines came down on the middle of the train, but the passengers managed to exit from the rear with only minor injuries.

The men's toilets were all but destroyed. One woman was trapped inside the women's toilets, which partly imploded from the impact.

Injured passengers were treated at the scene, with 10 taken to hospital as a precaution before being released.
