MANILA — Days after slamming into the barrier near Taft Avenue, the Metro Rail Transit (MRT) train was finally removed from crash site yesterday.

“The crash site is now cleared, but further testing on the railway is being conducted to insure that there is no crack,” Hernando Cabrera, MRT spokesperson was quoted saying in a statement to the Philippine Star. 

Cabrera added that a special utility truck that can run on both railways was used to remove the derailed train.

The two coaches of the train were pulled into the railway before it was towed to the MRT depot in EDSA.

“In the meantime, we cannot speculate on the events that led to the unfortunate incident. We find it more prudent to await the results of the investigation instead of forming a mere opinion on whether it was a human error or a technical malfunction,” Transportation Secretary Joseph Emilio Abaya said.

The investigation on the incident is still ongoing.
