French High-Speed Train Catches Fire, Crashes near Strasbourg, 5 Dead, "Cause Unknown"
Nothing To Do With Islam
From RT:
Five people have been killed as a train derailed and caught fire in Eckwersheim near Strasbourg in France, AFP reported.
Rescue teams are working at the site.
A high-speed TGV train derailed in Eckwersheim in the Bas-Rhin department of Alsace in northeastern France mid-afternoon on Saturday.
Apparently, the accident was caused by “excessive speed,” AFP reported. There has been no official confirmation on the casualties.
The SNCF state service has confirmed that the accident occurred, but didn’t provide further details, according to the paper.
The accident happened on a new high-speed line between Paris and Strasbourg, which hadn’t been used before.
Emergency crews have been deployed to the site.
The train derailed while on a bridge and the cars fell into the Marne-Rhine canal, according to witness reports.
Photos from the scene show smoke coming from the carriages.
