Three killed, scores injured in France train-school bus collision

At least four people were killed and 19 injured on Thursday after a train crashed into a school bus at a level crossing town in Perpignan town in southern France, according to the French Interior Ministry.

Transport Minister Elisabeth Borne described the crash as a “terrible accident” and said on Twitter that she was heading immediately to the scene, more than 850 km (530 miles) from Paris.

 

“All emergency services have been mobilised and a crisis coordination unit set up,” an official at the local Millas townhall told Reuters.

The Perpignan prefect’s office and the SNCF national rail company declined immediate comment on whether there had been casualties.
