The train driver was able to get out of the metro himself and was taken to hospital for a check, says a spokesman for the Safety Region. As far as he knows, there were no passengers in the vehicle. However, considerable damage has occurred,

The spokesperson does not expect the metro to be salvaged tonight. “It is at a height of 10 meters at the end of the rail. It will be quite an exercise, it will take some time.” The artwork is called Whale tails and consists of two tails that come out of the water.
How it could have gone wrong is not yet known.
