Everyone Wants to Drive the Train

Yesterday, a Swedish train cleaner succumbed to that universal urge to be a train engineer and went for a three minute joyride with a suburban Stockholm commuter train. Unfortunately, she lacked the skills to keep the Saltsjobannen train on the tracks and ran the commandeered train into an apartment building in the waterfront town of Saltsjöbaden. Luckily, no residents were injured in the 3am crash. However, the 20-something cleaner was slightly injured and charged with allmänfarlig ödeläggelse (public devastation).
