Driver praised for averting rail ‘murder bid’

THREE people were being questioned last night after a train crashed into a car deliberately abandoned on a level crossing.

They were arrested by detectives investigating the 60mph collision in the North that could have caused carnage. The two men and a woman were being interviewed in Coleraine, Co Derry, about what detectives are treating as attempted murder.

Police praised the driver’s skills for helping to save the lives of 30 passengers.
