The incident occurred at approximately 5:45 AM when the two trains, traveling in opposite directions, collided at a railway junction. According to preliminary reports from local authorities, a malfunction in the signaling system caused the two trains to be on the same track at the same time. The passenger train, which was carrying over 200 people, including commuters and travelers, was severely impacted by the collision. The freight train, loaded with chemicals and industrial goods, derailed and exploded, triggering a massive fire that spread to nearby wooded areas.
Rescue teams, including local firefighters, paramedics, and the National Guard, arrived at the scene within minutes, but the intense heat from the flames made it difficult to retrieve survivors. By midday, it was confirmed that at least 75 people had perished in the accident, with many others critically injured. The number of casualties is expected to rise as search and recovery operations continue.
The wreckage of the two trains was strewn across a wide area, and efforts to contain the fire and prevent further explosions were ongoing. Authorities have evacuated nearby communities due to concerns over toxic fumes from the burning chemicals. The local hospital is overwhelmed, and emergency rooms are filled with victims suffering from burns, fractures, and smoke inhalation.
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has launched an investigation into the cause of the crash, focusing on the malfunctioning signaling system and possible human error. The railroad company, which operates the freight line, has expressed its deepest condolences to the victims’ families and pledged full cooperation with investigators.
