Yes, that was not accurate and you're correct, it's still not clear what caused the first train to derail to begin with.

The way I looked at it is that the first train derailing wasn't a big issue, I don't think it caused any injuries. What was really catastrophic was the impact with the second train.

It is now confirmed that the cause of the accident was the welding on rail track number 23117.
