Overview

  • A Copenhagen–Sønderborg passenger train derailed on the Kliplev–Tinglev stretch after it apparently struck a vehicle at a level crossing, with initial reports naming a slurry tanker.
  • Multiple passengers suffered injuries, but precise casualty figures have not been confirmed as police and medical teams account for everyone involved.
  • Emergency responders deployed helicopters, rescue crews, drones and search dogs, and a Fire and Rescue South Jutland leader characterized the scene as a “major disaster.”
  • DSB has halted all train services between Kliplev and Tinglev and arranged replacement buses to preserve weekend travel links.
  • Banedanmark and regional police are conducting a technical and criminal investigation at the site to determine the exact sequence and cause of the crash.
