As the track curved to the right, the train continued straight on for about . It struck and destroyed the parapet of a single span bridge carrying the railway over Carron Water. The leading power car then fell down a wooded embankment and caught fire.[ The first carriage turned sideways, coming to rest across the tracks, inverted, with the second carriage, also inverted, and the fourth, lying on top of it. The third carriage ended up lying on its side, also down the embankment,] and caught fire. The rear power car remained substantially upright and coupled to the fourth carriage. The landslip had been caused by the failure of a drain which Network Rail had installed in 2012 and had last been inspected in June 2020, when no faults had been found.[
Contractors working to protect the bridge over the River Carron were working at the site at the time, and were able to avoid being hit by the derailed vehicles.

(RAIB) carried out an independent investigation. Inspectors from both the ORR and RAIB were dispatched to the site on 12 August 2020. The RAIB expected to conclude its on-site investigation in early September.[
On 13 August 2020, Grant Shapps ordered Network Rail to produce an interim report on the "wider issues" that may have resulted in the crash.][ The interim report was duly published on 1 September that year.] He also asked Network Rail to carry out resilience checks on other areas of the network potentially subject to flash flooding in "the next few days, few hours". A final report was expected later in 2020. On 25 August, Network Rail set up two new task forces, one aimed at improving its response to severe weather and the other aimed at better management of earthworks. The reports of both task forces were published in March 2021.
On 14 August 2020, the RAIB provided an initial report on the accident and provided details of the likely scope of their investigation. An update was issued on 21 August 2020.[ On 15 August that year, the chief inspector of rail accidents, Simon French, said the derailment would have been "much worse had the train been more heavily loaded" but that it was "amongst the worst" he had seen over his 16 years with the RAIB. He added: "To be sure about this, we need data from the train, and we are working with the other agencies here on-site to gain access to the data recorder, but given the circumstances it's a difficult task and it will be some time."]
On 19 April 2021, the RAIB issued an interim report. On 10 March 2022, the final report was published. It was reported that the investigation recognised several factors that contributed to the accident, including faulty drainage systems, which Carillion

failed to construct to the required design. Carillion had failed to notify designers Arup or Network Rail that they had made changes to the design of the drainage. Other factors identified included the workload pressure on the Scotland route control team that day, the age of the train, and a lack of adequate training for the train’s personnel. The RAIB made 20 recommendations in its final report.[
