Hungarian Transport Minister Pal Szabo and MAV Hungarian Railways Board
Chairman Miklos Kamaras resigned following yesterday's passenger train crash,
the Hungarian government spokesman said.
Hungarian News Agency MTI reported that Hungarian Prime Minister Ferenc
Gyurcasny accepted both resignations.
MAV CEO Istvan Heinczinger also submitted his resignation, but the prime
minister did not accept it.
Gyurcasny announced the resignations in a press statement on Monday in
parliament. He also declared his sympathy and that of his government with the
people killed or hurt in the crash and their families.
An intercity train on route from Debrecen to capital Budapest collided with a
standard passenger train at Monorierdo just outside of Budapest yesterday
morning, killing four passengers and injuring 26 others.
