Two passenger trains collided near the village of Bialosliwie in west-central Poland on June 25 at 18:04 local time [1, 2]. Both trains were traveling between Polish cities. One train ran from Kolobrzeg to Warsaw East Station, while the other traveled from Pila to Bydgoszcz, also known as Briesen [3, 1, 2].
Approximately 200 passengers were aboard the two trains combined at the time of the collision [3, 1, 2]. Emergency responders reported two passengers sustained injuries in the crash [4, 5, 3, 1, 6, 2]. Sixteen fire brigade teams were dispatched to the scene to assist [4, 6].
Photos and videos circulating on social media showed some carriages had derailed and come off the tracks following the collision [4, 3, 1, 2]. While most sources agree the collision involved two passenger trains, some reports stated one train was a freight train, but the balance of information supports the passenger train account [4, 3, 1, 6, 2].
Emergency crews continue working to clear the site and assess damage. Authorities have yet to release information on the cause of the collision or details on passenger evacuations [4, 6].
