Two empty Desiros were involved and one coach ended up in a field. The
driver was taken to hospital for a check-up.

What is concerning to me - looking at this image - is the passenger
saloon being open to the outside world after the gangway is ripped off.
I believe these gangways are designed to be separate components to the
actual vehicle, whereas on older stock they would be equally-attached to
each coach (sometimes with an intermediate door).
I wonder if a redesign is in order?
[copied to uk.r as UK has these type of gangways as well]
