A train hit a school minibus in the Belgian town of Buggenhout on the morning of May 26, with at least four people killed, including two children. The cause of the crash is not immediately clear, neither is the reason why the bus was on the tracks. Belgium's rail agency says footage from the scene shows barriers at the crossing had been closed and a red light was showing when the incident happened. FRANCE 24's Dave Keating has more from the ground. #belgium #traincrash #belgiumaccident 🔔 Subscribe to France 24 now: https://f24.my/YTen 🔴 LIVE - Watch FRANCE 24 English 24/7 here: https://f24.my/YTliveEN 🌍 Read the latest International News and Top Stories: https://www.france24.com/en/ Like us on Facebook: https://f24.my/FBen Follow us on X: https://f24.my/Xen Bluesky: https://f24.my/BSen and Threads: https://f24.my/THen Browse the news in pictures on Instagram: https://f24.my/IGen Discover our TikTok videos: https://f24.my/TKen Get the latest top stories on Telegram: https://f24.my
