At least four people were critically injured and 17 others sustained injuries in a head-on collision between two local trains north of Copenhagen, Denmark, on Thursday, April 23. Emergency services confirmed all passengers were evacuated from the derailed carriages, with no individuals trapped inside.
The accident occurred on a rail line connecting the towns of Hillerod and Kagerup during peak travel hours. "Large resources have been dispatched to the scene," a spokesperson for the Greater Copenhagen fire department told Reuters, noting the coordinated response of police, medical teams, and rescue workers.
Investigations into the cause of the crash are ongoing, with authorities yet to confirm whether technical failures or operational errors contributed to the incident. Train services on the affected route remain suspended indefinitely.
