Four people killed in train collision with Belgian school bus

Four people, including two teenagers, were killed ‌in Belgium on Tuesday when a train crashed into a school bus on a level-crossing near the town of Buggenhout, RTL TV reported, citing Transport Minister Jean-Luc Crucke.

The victims also included the bus ⁠driver and an adult accompanying the pupils, RTL quoted Crucke as saying. Two other people were also severely injured, he added.

The accident occurred early on Tuesday at a level-crossing near Buggenhout station, about 23 kilometres (14.29 miles) from Brussels. Crucke said security cameras showed that the crossing's security ‌barriers ⁠had come down.

Interior Minister Bernard Quintin said on X that "it is with deep sadness that I learned of the tragic accident that occurred in Buggenhout."

Spokespeople for ⁠the Belgian police did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
