Strasbourg: A tram crash at Gare Centrale has caused quite a stir. It looks like two trams collided, and now dozens of people are hurt.
Emergency crews rushed to the scene as soon as they got the call. It all happened earlier today, and the footage from the site is pretty shocking.
In the video, you can hear alarms blaring while some folks are lying on the ground, clearly in pain. Initial reports say around 30 people got hurt.
From what I gather, the accident happened because one tram ended up on a track where another was just sitting still. It seems there was a mix-up with the switching.
One witness shared, “I just saw what happened in Strasbourg. It’s very serious, an accident between two trams, with five serious injuries and 30 minor ones. We hope there are no fatalities.”
The Bas-Rhin fire and rescue service posted on X, saying, “Tram accident at the Gare Centrale stop in Strasbourg. Many resources are on the scene.”
They also advised people to steer clear of certain areas to help emergency services get through. It’s a tough situation, and everyone is hoping for the best.
