In a horrific development, at least 36 people died and 85 people were injured in Greece after two trains collided on Wednesday morning. The Greece train collision took place on Wednesday when a passenger train and an oncoming freight train collided in a fiery wreck in northern Greece. An intercity passenger train traveling from Athens to the northern city of Thessaloniki collided at high speed with a cargo train outside the city of Larissa in central Greece. As per reports, the passenger train was carrying 350 people when the horrific accident took place. The impact caused a fire in a number of the passenger carriages, burning many commuters who were rushed to hospitals. Seeing the initial footages and videos, it can be said that multiple cars derailed and at least three burst into flame after the collision near Tempe, some 380 kilometers (235 miles) north of Athens. Now, the question arises what is Greece train collision's reason or what led to the horrific Greece train collision?
For those looking for answers, they have to be disappointed for not. The reason being, the Greece train collision reason is yet to be revealed and authorities are currently investigating the matter. People have described having to crawl through windows and over broken glass as they tried to escape. According to one shaken passenger who spoke to Skai television, "the windows suddenly exploded" and "people were screaming and were afraid". "Fortunately, we were able to open the doors and escape fairly quickly. In other wagons, they did not manage to get out, and one wagon even caught fire."
Passengers who received minor injuries or were unharmed were transported by bus to Thessaloniki, 130 kilometers (80 miles) north of the incident. Police took their names as they arrived in an effort to track anyone who may be missing. A teenage survivor who did not give his name told Greek reporters as he got off one of the buses that just before the crash, he felt a strong braking and saw sparks and then there was a sudden stop. Now, there are multiple Greece train collision videos are doing rounds on social media.
