A 20-year-old female cleaner suffered severe injuries after stealing a commuter train and driving it straight into an apartment building in Stockholm, Sweden.
The woman was going at such speed that the train continued for nearly 100 feet off-rail before it smashed into the apartment block where three families were asleep.
The train was empty and stationary at the time of the theft and none of the five adults reportedly in the house at the time of the accident were hurt.
It is not clear how the woman got hold of the keys to start the train’s engine, but a rail technician at the scene this morning told newspaper Expressen that one of his colleagues ‘lost the keys to this train, is in a bad state and is blaming himself’.
It was reported this morning that the woman is in a stable condition and at 9am Stockholm Police arrested her for destruction endangering the public.
Police and emergency workers are currently working on stabilising the apartment block to prevent the building’s collapse before they can remove the wreckage.
