Posted on 09 October 2009
The driver of a freight train died and several people were injured when two freight trains collided near Barendrecht outside Rotterdam. A spokesperson for rail management company ProRail said that derailed wagons hit a passenger train headed for Belgium, but none of the 150 occupants were injured. All train traffic between Rotterdam Central and Dordrecht was halted immediately and police closed the parallel A15 motorway, to enable rescue workers to reach the accident site.
