Seoul: A South Korean passenger train that took a curved section of track at three times the recommended speed derailed on Friday, killing an engineer and injuring eight people, police and rail officials said.
According to the national rail operator, KORAIL, the locomotive and four of the train’s seven carriages jumped the tracks near Yulchon station, some 330 kilometres (200 miles) south of Seoul.
The train was carrying 27 people, including two locomotive engineers, one of whom was killed in the accident.
