As they investigate the crash that occurred on Friday January 15th, local media say it might be caused by the heat wave that Croatia is experiencing these days, the temperature on Friday had gone up to 104 degrees Fahrenheit (44 degrees Celsius).

There were 55 injured and 6 six dead, the train consisted of two carts carrying 90 passengers as it crashed in a remote part of southern Croatia. Zoran Popovac, the head of Croatian Railways until further investigation has been conducted.

One injured passenger, Zarko Rogan, a 71-year-old retiree from Zagreb, said the train seemed to be traveling too fast before the accident.
