An Lusheng, deputy director of the State Railway Administration, said on the 10th that at 10:22 on June 4, the d2809 train from Guiyang North to Guangzhou South Railway Station derailed at the yuezhai tunnel entrance before the Rongjiang station of Guiyang Guangzhou railway, resulting in the injury of two train personnel and 10 passengers, and the tragic death of one EMU driver. "We are deeply saddened by this." An Lusheng said that after the accident, the railway department started the emergency response at the first time, quickly sent a working group to the scene, and made every effort to organize the rescue and planning together with the relevant local government departments and the people. According to the preliminary investigation and analysis, the accident was mainly caused by the local continuous rainfall accompanied by short-term heavy rainfall, and the train ran into the debris flow that suddenly collapsed and invaded the line during the high-speed operation, resulting in the off-line of No. 7 and No. 8 trains.
