Recovered train dashboard footage shows a truck was already on the train track more than a minute before a crash that caused Taiwan’s worst rail disaster in decades.

At least 50 people were killed and around 200 injured on Friday last week when the eight-carriage train hit a construction vehicle that had rolled down an embankment, derailing the carriages as they entered a stretch of tunnel just outside the east coast city of Hualien
