International rail corridor shut by double accident at Moravian village

An international rail corridor between Austria and Poland was brought to a halt on Thursday morning following two accidents at a level crossing at the village of Moravský Písek in the Moravian Silesian Region.

A railway administration spokesperson said that a passenger train had derailed near Moravský Písek and in the same moment a person was hit and killed by a freight train.

Substitute bus transport was introduced to replace local train services but international trains were set to be delayed on the route for some time.
