The person died instantly and the train is still immobilized on the tracks for the moment, even if the passengers were able to be evacuated. “The circulation of trains is stopped in both directions, between Leuze and Tournai”, assures us at Infrabel. “However, TEC buses have been put into service.”
This accident risks causing major slowdowns on line 94 which links Tournai to Brussels, as well as disruptions to road traffic. “Since the train is still stationary on site, several level crossings in the immediate vicinity of the accident site have also been closed,” adds the spokesperson. The inconvenience should be substantial, especially during rush hour. Passengers are invited to consult the timetables on site or online.
On the side of the victim, it seems that the thesis of a voluntary act is privileged. The Tournaisis police and the railway police went to the scene.
