TAIPEI (Reuters) – Taiwanese rescuers were trying on Monday to retrieve the last body of a passenger from wreckage of a deadly train crash last week.<\/p>

Fifty people have been confirmed dead after a packed express train carrying almost 500 passengers and crew slammed into a truck near the eastern city of Hualien on Friday, causing it to derail and the front end to crumple. It was the island\u2019s worst rail accident in seven decades.<\/p>\n

The truck had slid down a sloping road from a building site onto the tracks just outside a tunnel. Officials suspect the truck\u2019s brakes were not properly applied and are investigating the manager of the site.<\/p>\n

Hualien\u2019s fire department said that the remaining body was trapped under a 15-tonne train bogie. It did not provide details on the identity of the passenger.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe rescue is difficult, and we are currently discussing how to overcome these difficulties, so the time it takes may be delayed,\u201d the department said.<\/p>\n

Transport Minister Lin Chia-lung said late on Sunday that he took responsibility for the accident and would step down once initial rescue and recovery work was complete.<\/p>\n

The victims include two Americans and one French national.<\/p>\n

Taiwan\u2019s government has promised compensation and said it would do everything it could to help survivors and their relatives, including coordinating public donations.<\/p>\n

The damaged section of the track is not expected to reopen until April 20 at the earliest, though rail traffic continues on a parallel track that runs through another tunnel and was not affected by the accident.<\/p>\n

The crash occurred at the start of a long weekend for the traditional Tomb Sweeping Day, when people return home to tend to family graves.<\/p>\n

Taiwan has no domestic travel curbs, as the COVID-19 pandemic is well under control, with only 40 active cases in hospitals.<\/p>\n

Taiwan\u2019s worst train crash was in 1948, when 64 people are estimated to have died in a fire.<\/p>\n
