The accident took place in Jbel Jelloud, in the southern suburbs of Tunis. Two trains collided in Tunisia on Monday March 21. “The collision between two trains caused 95 injuries who were transported to hospitals”, Civil Defense spokesman Moez Treaa told AFP. The latter specified that one of the trains was carrying passengers, while the second was empty. The causes of the collision were not immediately known.
According to the spokesman, most of the injured suffer from broken bones or bruises or are in a state of shock, but no serious cases are to be deplored. Fifteen ambulances and other emergency vehicles were mobilized to the scene of the accident.
The collision between the two trains of the Tunisian National Railway Company (SNCFT) took place around 9:30 a.m. local time, a few minutes before the scheduled arrival of two suburban trains heading for Tunis central station. An AFP correspondent on the spot saw the front of the driver’s cabin of one of the trains partially gutted.
