Jumla ya abiria 336 walikuwa wamepanda kwenye treni hiyo ambayo mabehewa yake yote 8 yalitoka kwenye njia usiku wa kuamkia leo na kupinduka katika eneo la Yilan
Shirika la utangazaji la Taiwan linasema watu wengi wanahofiwa kukwama bado kwenye mabehewa ya treni hiyo iliyokuwa inatoka Taipei kwenda Taitung
Haijafahamika wazi nini chanzo cha treni kutoka kwenye njia zake ila shuhuda wanasema walisikia kelele na baadae kuona moshi. Shirika la reli bado linachunguza ajali hiyo
Waokoaji wakishirikiana na Wanajeshi na Kitengo cha Zima moto wapo eneo la tukio wakijaribu kuokoa na kutoa huduma kwa majeruhi
