At 17:30 a sewage tanker/ Heavy Goods Vehicle (HGV) collided with a train at a level crossing in the UK county of Suffolk. While the driver of the HGV has not been identified he was on a regular route from a local sewage works. All drivers on that route should have been told that they need to telephone the local rail signal box to request permission to cross the railway line. On this occasion the driver failed to do so resulting in a collision with a train that left 18 people injured but none dead.
Although the times do not match up I think this accident was a rather late attempt by the Brits to force the Israelis to publicly admit that they had a hostage situation developing at the Turkish Embassy in Tel Aviv. At the time of writing there is no news on how that hostage situation is progressing.
Edited to add@ 23:07: It turns out that Israeli hostage situation has been resolved. The Israeli authorities have arrested Nadim Injaz, a Palestinian from Ramallah who was arrested for trying to storm the UK Embassy in Tel Aviv back in 2006. Makes you wonder about the loyalty of some of those West Bank Palestinians really doesn't it.
