Croydon tram was three times over speed limit for deadly crash

The initial investigation into a tram that crashed in Croydon killing seven people has found that it was travelling at three and a half times the speed limit when it came off the tracks.

Investigators released their interim report today, which found no fault with the brakes, or the track itself.

But the investigation did find that the tram was travelling at over 43 miles-an-hour in a 12 miles-an-hour zone when it crashed onto its side. Sky’s Ashish Joshi reports.
