Swedish woman steals and crashes train

Stealing a train is never a good idea.

However, if someone does decide to illegally obtain such a vehicle, it would be a good idea to only do so if they know how to drive it.

A cleaner in the Swedish city of Stockholm will live to regret her decision to do just this, after she crashed the train into an apartment block.

Amazingly, the lady was the only person injured in the collision, despite the fact that three families were inside the building when the incident occurred.

Tomas Hedenius, a spokesman for train operator Arriva, said of the woman: "We have only heard good things about her. We're investigating how this could happen and why she did what she did."

No one knows how the female got the keys to the train, or why she did it in the first place, but it is clear that she will live to regret it for some time.
