What the article doesn’t mention is that the train driver/engineer was worried that the terrain under the tracks was weakened by the weather and rain. The driver got in touch with the command centre and they agreed to the suggestion of lowering the train’s speed, which meant that the derailment wasn’t as dangerous or critical as it could have been otherwise.

Also, the brook Susabäck (bäck = brook) is not a river. It is a brook. “The rustling brook river” sounds like “DVD disc”.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Heavy rain saw Sweden’s Susaback River burst its banks on Tuesday, leading to severe flooding that weather agencies expect to continue.

Three people were taken to hospital after a train derailed in eastern Sweden when a railway embankment collapsed following heavy rains, police said, as weather agencies warned of more flooding.

After police and rescue services arrived at the scene it was “determined that the railway embankment had been undermined by the heavy rain and collapsed.”

Sweden’s national weather agency SMHI had issued several “yellow alerts” for Monday, warning of strong winds, floods and heavy rains in multiple parts of the country as extreme weather “Hans” moved in across the country over the weekend.

A violent storm is causing major damage to crops and houses, like in the small town of Dobele, some 80 kilometres from Riga, with trees falling on highways and roofs torn off.

Riga has implemented a red weather warning for parts of the country yet to feel the strength of its blast.
