Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>The company that manages the Mozambican railway line on which six people died in a collision between a train and a car on Sunday has blamed the driver of the vehicle for the accident.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe cause of the accident is under investigation, but preliminary data indicate that the accident resulted from the non-observance of the rules for crossing the railway line by the driver of the vehicle,\u201d Nacala Logistics said in a statement on Monday (15-08).<\/p>\n

All six passengers in the all-terrain vehicle died when it was hit by the train on a level crossing in Cateme, Moatize district, Tete province in central Mozambique at around 2:30 p.m.
\nThe vehicle was pushed a full kilometre down the track before the train was brought to a halt. \u201cThe incident was immediately reported to the Operational Control Centre in Moatize, and fire and ambulance teams were immediately called,\u201d Nacala Logistics adds in its statement.<\/p>\n

According to the company that manages the line, the 118-wagon train belongs to the Vulcan mining company which, at the end of April this year, concluded the purchase of the coal-mining assets of Brazilian company Vale in a deal worth US$270 million (\u20ac253 million).<\/p>\n

The 900-kilometre \u2018Northern Logistics Corridor\u2019 railway connects the coal mines in Tete province to the Port of Nacala on the Indian Ocean, from where the cargo is exported, mainly to Asia.<\/p>\n

Vulcan is a private Indian company, part of the Jindal Group. It has a market value of US$18 billion (\u20ac16.8 billion), and already has a presence in Mozambique, in the shape of the Chirodzi mine, also in Tete province.<\/p>\n
