TAIPEI: A railway maintenance worker whose truck rolled onto the tracks and sparked Taiwan's worst train disaster in recent decades made a tearful apology on Sunday , saying he would cooperate with investigators.
Lee, 49, was part of a team who regularly inspected Taiwan's mountainous eastern train line for landslides and other risks. But it was not accepted by the government, who said he should remain in place until the results of the investigation are known.Survivors reported that the train driver was honking his horn shortly before the crash but did not - or was unable to - slow down before striking the truck.
On Saturday, around one hundred relatives held an emotional Taoist prayer ceremony near the crash site.
