A Turkish court on Monday remanded three state railways employees in custody over last week’s high-speed train crash in the capital Ankara, a judicial source said.
A Turkish State Railways (TCDD) dispatcher, switchman, and inspector were remanded by an Ankara court after questioning by prosecutors, said the sources, who asked not to be named due to restrictions on talking to the media.
Last Thursday nine people were killed, including three mechanics, and 47 injured when a high-speed train crashed into a pilot engine traveling along the same rails.
