昨天（4日）早上在埃德蒙顿西部，维亚火车（Via train）与一辆卡车相撞，造成3人死亡。

此次重大交通事故发生在昨天早上8点40分左右。目击者希克（Karen Hick）事后说，当时就听到一个巨大的声响。预警的信号灯仍在工作，警方正在检查另一端的信号灯是否正常。

在事发现场，被撞毁的卡车散乱在一条地沟附近，金属被扭曲，完全无法辨认。

维亚铁路女发言人卡罗斯基（Catherine Kaloutsky）说，事发的火车是从温哥华驶往多伦多，车上有227名乘客，26名工作人员。事发后火车被迫停驶，乘客留在车上，直到急救人员赶到。

调查人员表示，当时由暴风雪造成的恶劣路况和能见度不高，可能也是事故发生的一个原因。
