Jang-ho, What exactly happened?

Mark, the Mugunghwa 1517 passenger train departed Seoul Station late last night and was nearing Yulchon Station in Jeollanam-do Province when the accident happened.
Authorities say the train,... carrying 22 people derailed at around 3:40 a.m. local time.
One of the two engineers on board was killed,... while eight passengers were injured.
The passengers were taken to a nearby hospital, but most of them were discharged shortly after.
Local police have confirmed that the accident happened because the train driver ignored guidelines from the train controller.
According to police officers,... the driver did not shift tracks to the lower platform at the guided time, and was going around one-hundred-30 kilometers an hour when the guided speed was under 50 kilometers an hour.
The Korea Railroad Corporation says it has suspended all train operations between Suncheon Station and Yeosu Expo Station.
Recovery work is expected to take up to 20 hours.
Back to you.
