milan train crashAt least two people have been killed and more than ten have been majorly injured following an eight-car passenger train derailment on the outskirts of Milan, Italy.

 

 

 

One fire official spoke at the city’s control room that the death toll is between three to five however it has still not been confirmed. More than a hundred of them have been hospitalised following some minor wounds.

 

 

 

The accident happened just before 7am during rush hour this morning at Seggiano di Potello, a suburb on a busy commuter route from Cremona operated by Trenord. The reason of the incident on the approach to Milan’s Garibaldi station remains unknown but two cars appear to have peeled off the rails and come to rest at an angle.

 

 

 

Local fire brigade along with the emergency services reached the scene to rescue the trapped travellers inside the carriages. The accident is expected to cause major delays across the city transport network.

 

 

 

In the recent years, the ageing rail system of Italy has been much under scrutiny. Another tragic incident in 2016 killed 23 people when two trains collided on a single track in Puglia.
