A freight train and a bus crashed at the entrance to the Channel Tunnel on the evening of October 15, in an incident first reported by British outlets shortly before 9 p.m. London time.
Early reports said some of those involved were critically injured. The number of casualties and the circumstances of the collision had not been fully confirmed in the initial reporting.
The Channel Tunnel is one of the busiest freight and passenger links between Britain and continental Europe, and any serious incident at an entrance has the potential to disrupt cross-Channel traffic while emergency services work.
OTMedia will update this story as transport authorities confirm the scale of the injuries and whether tunnel operations are affected.
