A second deadly train pile-up in several days probed as investigators aim blownout tire

Investigators probing a second lethal Chinatown train pile-up in a past 3 days are focusing on either a blownout tire caused a highway wreck, military pronounced Tuesday.

The bargain-rate debate train – charging only $20 for a outing from Chinatown to Philadelphia – crashed about 9 p.m. Monday on a New Jersey Turnpike, nearby East Brunswick.

The driver, Wei Wang, 50, of Forest Hills, Queens, and a passenger, Troy Nguyen, 20, of Royersford, Pa., were killed, New Jersey State Police said. All 41 other passengers were injured, 5 of them seriously.

The train was operated by Super Luxury Tours Inc., a Pennsylvania-based association with a bad reserve record, sovereign travel annals show.

The out-of-control train barreled off a roadway, skidded opposite a weed median and slammed into a petrify support for an overpass, military said. It afterwards swerved behind opposite a highway and crashed into a mud embankment.

“My life upheld before my eyes,” pronounced Ashley Wilson, 21, a college tyro who went to Bayside High School in Queens.

“I remember a lot of yelling and things descending everywhere. People were falling. They were in a panic. There was a man who was sitting opposite a aisle from me, and he didn’t get up. … we saw blood on his face and on a chair.”

Police pronounced a bus’ front tire had blown out. It will be analyzed to establish if a repairs led to a pile-up or was a outcome of it. Wilson pronounced she felt a “bump toward a back” of a train before a motorist mislaid control. Super Luxury Tours has been cited in a past year for countless reserve issues, including for fatigued or non-professional drivers, according to sovereign Department of Transportation records.

The company’s record of vulnerable pushing ranked it in a bottom 1% of train carriers rated by a feds. Company member could not be reached for comment.
