Hector Chávez director of the Costa Rica Firefighters explained that one train was heading south while the other was going north, they crashed in a curve.
Authorities estimate that between the two trains there were at least 400 passengers.
Elizabeth Briceño, president of the Costa Rica Railroad Institute (Incofer) declared that an accident like this should never occur and could “eventually” be the consequence of a human error, however, technical investigations need to be conducted to determine the cause of the accident.
This is not the first time something like this happens in Costa Rica. In April,8,2016 two trains crashed in Pavas leaving 106 people injured.
The train service from Heredia to San José is suspended for the rest of the evening, Incofer has not yet determined whether or not the service will be offered tomorrow morning.
