Taiwan train crash: Site boss bailed amid grief over 50 deaths

    Officials investigating a train crash in Taiwan that killed at least 50 people are focusing on a maintenance lorry that slid onto the track.

    The train hit the lorry then crashed inside a tunnel on Friday. A construction site manager suspected of negligence has been granted bail.

    Rescuers are yet to extract a number of mangled carriages from the tunnel and fear they may find more bodies.
