“According to preliminary data, the destruction was due to a substantial overload of one of the wagons, moving along the bridge, with the result that there has been a shift plate and structural failure.

Experts analyze security surveillance camera, study braking distances and other factors to determine the cause of the destruction.
Currently, traffic flows sent by the other part of the District – on the road Kyiv-Kharkiv-Dovzhansky.
