While the initial stall of a VinFast car on the tracks is an unfortunate incident, the driver’s fault leadting to stalled car should not lead to a multi-train collision.

Safety protocols and signaling systems are specifically designed to prevent this.

1. Data and footage from the scene suggest the vehicle was stationary for 5 minutes before the first impact. In the world of rail safety, 5 minutes is an eternity - more than enough time for signals to turn red and for emergency protocols to halt all oncoming traffic.

2. The 2nd Crash: Why was the third train (Argo Bromo) not alerted in time to brake, despite the first crash already having occurred?

Q: But is it true there was also an accident ahead?

A: Actually, that information had already been given, but when trying to follow that signal, it suddenly turned red.

Q: So it turned red unexpectedly?

A: I wouldn’t say it was sudden, but it shouldn’t have turned red because it had been green the whole time.

Q: Was the speed quite high?

A: Yes, the speed was fairly high, around 110 km/h.
