Forensic police officers walk next to the damaged bus as they inspect at the site of an accident after a train crashed into a school bus, at the railway crossing Vierhuizen in Buggenhout, some 20kms north of Brussels on 26 May 2026.
A train on Tuesday (local time) hit a school minibus killing four people, including two children in a "horrific accident" in northern Belgium, authorities say.
The children aged 15 and 12, were killed by the impact alongside the 49-year-old driver and a 27-year-old supervisor, according to Lisa De Wilde, a spokeswoman for the prosecutor's office.
